I feel very strongly that at no point in any person’s life should they follow by example. Every child should be taught to question what they’re told and push their thought process to prove if someone else’s words are really true. You will never learn anything by blindly following any advice you’re given or listening to someone explain to you how to perform a task without asking questions.

This isn’t to say you should never listen to authority figures. That is clearly not going to work out for you. But, in order to grow or learn, you need to ask questions. You need to push your brain to function past “this is what I was told to do and so this is how I will be doing it forever”. Chances are, if you really think something through, you can find a more efficient and effective way to perform throughout your day. And isn’t that really the best way to live your life? 

I feel like we live in a world where no one wants to push themselves. Everyone wants to just survive and get it over with and the act of reaching outside of the box is just the most terrifying thing. Get over it. Your life is going to be so much more enjoyable if you actually give deep thought a chance. 

Use your brain. Stop just listening to what you’re told. Do your research. Ask questions. Be skeptical. Try a different routine. Do new things. 

Go.

Be a thinking adult who doesn’t do what they’re told.

Don’t follow by example but instead lead the world by introducing new ideas.

This is everything I believe in.
