The majority of people have successfully alienated themselves from change; they tediously arrange their lives into a familiar pattern, they give themselves to normalcy, they are proud if they are able to follow in auspicious footsteps set before them, they take pride in always coloring inside the lines and they feel secure if they belong to a batch of others who are like them. Now, if familiar patterns bore you, if normalcy passes before you unnoticed, if you want to create your own footsteps in the earth and leave your own handprints on the skies, if you are the one who doesn’t mind the lines in the coloring book as much as others do, and perchance you do not cling to a flock for you to identify with, then you must be ready for adversity. If you are something extraordinary, you are going to always shock others and while they go about existing in their mundaneness which they call success, you’re going to be flying around crazy in their skies and that scares them. People are afraid of change, afraid of being different, afraid of doing things and thinking things that aren’t a part of their checkerboard game of a life. They only know the pieces and the moves in their games, and that’s it. You’re always going to find them in the place that you think you’re going to find them in, and every time they think about you, you’re going to give them a heart attack.

Absolutely true, i try to go against the wind…let’s see where i land up in life.
Thank you for an early morning dose on Monday 🙂
It is all about taking chances and who knows you might get to where you want to be.
That’s a wonderful post, Marva! Experienced right that. When I decided to being happy the challenging people in my life drew back because the didn’t understand me anymore or found no grip anymore. That was so funny to observe!
Good for you. You have to do what is best for you. It is pointless living your life unhappy trying to please others.
I completely agree!!! I started living when I stopped pleasing others in order to get approval, respect, and … love. It never works. Today I am flooded with it all!
Blessing… continue to enjoy your life!
