Peer pressure is hard to resist. We all want to belong and it’s generally easier to simply go along with what everyone else is already doing. But someone has to go first when it’s time for a change.
Few set out to be trendsetters. Most of us settle somewhere in the middle of the pack when adapting to new changes. While we don’t want to be the last one to get the memo, we’re often not rushing to be the first one to try something new either.
Trying something new means we’re stepping into the unknown and opening ourselves up to many potential risks. And, to be sure, it’s much safer to let someone else try it out first. We’ll then consider following if it works out well for them.
This approach is fine for much of life when someone else is taking the lead and accepting the risks to move in the direction we need to go. But there are times in which this ball falls squarely in our courts and we must be courageous enough to go first.
To be clear, every battle is not ours and so there’s no expectation to charge the field first on every issue. There’s great wisdom in finding trusted others to follow. But we must also have the faith and courage to be the first to change when we've been given a clear vision for something better. It’s okay to be first when the change is true and good. Step out and show the way for others to follow as well.
It's okay to refuse to be average. This hoodie is an ode to the Uncommon.
