Most people want to be most people.
We say things like, “Everybody…” and then fill in the blank. Or, if we’re justifying, we say things like, “But everybody…” and fill in the blank.
Being a most people provides safety. Protection in numbers. Comfort. No emotional risk. It makes a lot of sense. There’s no problem with being a most people.
Unless you’re trying to do something.
If so, walk around with your head up.
If you can be the one with your head up for any length of time, this is what you’ll see:
- Most people don’t have their heads up.
- Most people are hypnotized by their handheld machine.
- Most people don’t say “Hi.”
If you’re trying to do something, you probably don’t want to be a most people.
One way to start is to walk around with your head up.
