Everyone wants to be liked. I said it.
I’m in the early stages of seeing the lay of the land on Twitter but here’s one undeniable thing.
You’re all copying each other, with a handful of exceptions.
I honestly see people writing the exact-worded tweets as other people, passing it off like you said it first and wondering why you’re not standing out.
Of course, we understand it’s scary putting your head above the parapet, very few enjoy being criticised, very few enjoy being contradicted or disagreed with.
But you’re not here to simple agree with the status quo, I’m certainly not, and give a fleeting thumbs up because you want approval from your peers.
There are things you can’t control, yes, but when people tweet just trying to sound clever and others agree because they want to bask in those rays of sunshine as well, ironically, it’s very repetitive and once a statement sticks, it can easily become endorsed out of saying No.
I correct grammar in the comments.
I question what people are actually saying.
I happily disagree when something doesn’t add up. (I’m logical like that!)
And I’ll tell you what, when I do, I get more and more confident as well as clearer in my thinking, my behaviour too. Wonderful!
I’m not necessarily a member of the ‘you weren’t born to blend in, you were born to stand out’ happy-clappy crowd but I certainly don’t advocate for agreeing just because you don’t want to rock the boat.
Live not by lies.
No, there is a unique reason why you’re on the planet, I fundamentally believe that and our spiritual and personal journeys are to ask questions, speak truth and discover our purposes.
Make everything as fun, informative and sparkly as you can.
