March to the Beat of Your OWN Drum

March to the Beat of Your OWN Drum

Drums are everywhere and that explains why we have a cacophony of drum beats.  And that doesn't surprise us all if each of us tend to go at paces even differing from our very own drums.  And to make matters worst, are you aware that there are drums so damn loud enough it will break your eardrums with their decibels till you end up marching to the beat of their OWN Drum [and not yours] !

Most people have been told to 'GO WITH THE FLOW' and 'DONT ROCK THE BOAT' their whole lives but that advice isn't always appropriate.  History has shown that change is often brought about by the people who stand out, those who march to the beat of their OWN drum.  But it turns out you shouldn't be like everyone else if you want to live a happier and more fulfilling life.  Now, to be proactive, it helps that you are able to discern [in fact, DETECT] if indeed you are march to the beat of their OWN drum.  First, YOU GOTTA BE YOURSELF.  Our whole lives, we're told to FIT IN and CONFORM TO THE GROUP.

In some cases, that seems a good advice.  Still, it has one major flaw it PREVENTS YOU FROM BEING YOURSELF and it happens YOU are an individual who deserves to stand out for the things that make you different.  NON-CONFORMITY isn't easy because the GROUP MENTALITY always pushes back against it, but that doesn't make it wrong.  the people who stand out as different tend to stand out in positive ways.  Think of how STEFANI GERMANOTTA's career flourished after she stopped conforming to the cookie cutter standards by spreading her wings to be who she truly is and that's LADY GAGA.

People have been standing out all the time in this manner.  A lot of them have enjoyed the benefits of expressing themselves for who they are.  When someone has to hide the things that make them different [for FEAR of bullying], they deny their individuality which can be dangerous for their self-esteem [and probably, even mental health ?].  In short, be WHO YOU ARE even if that means you won't be like everyone else.  At the end of the day, that's a good thing.  You are a unique person and everything that makes you who you are is special.  Embrace that and you will enjoy YOUR friends, YOUR family, YOUR work and YOUR life as long as you keep marching to the beat of your OWN drum✅✅✅
