Conformity is a powerful tool. It keeps us safe but it trends towards obsolescence. It creates thoughts that push us towards believing we need to be ”like” others. The desire to be ”liked” by others can often guide us towards acting ”like” others and in doing so betraying our own interests. We both played conforming roles for years until we experienced our own personal awakening. It wasn’t a magic moment for either of us but more of an accumulation of cultivated thought. We encourage everyone to evaluate your thoughts, your interests and your activities. Are you spending this life doing what you want to do? Are you exploring your passions? Do you have passions? These are all questions we can ask ourselves to start understanding our purpose.
