Why Normal is Expensive

Many of us look to lead normal and happy lives, but sometimes being normal is a more costly choice than you think. It could mean always trying to keep up with the pack instead of straying out on your own path to discover new ideas. It means never taking too big of a risk, no matter how rewarding, or ever sticking your neck out above the crowd.

Sometimes what’s best for the greater good though, hasn’t been embraced by the public yet. What if you did have a chance to change the world for the better? But instead of realizing that full potential, you were to busy conforming to what society and other people expected you to do. Unfortunately being different, can sometimes be a difficult journey to travel. Do you think it was easy for George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to lead our Declaration of Independance? Or Mahatma Gandhi when he campaigned for Indian independence no matter how peaceful his non-violent disobedience principles were? Fast forwarding to the modern age, you don’t have to lead a revolution to be unique to this planet. Do whatever makes you happy and content no matter how crazy sounding, if it could really one day help the world. Whether that be writing the next great novel, designing a new building, discovering the latest scientific breakthrough, or exploring artistic talents, or anything else you can dream of, time is the most expensive cost you have, so use yours wisely! Can you really afford to be normal?
