Living outside of the "Norm"

There is no tribe of normal

"People don't coalesce into active and committed tribes around the status quo.

The only vibrant tribes in our communities are the ones closer the edges, or those trying to make change. The center is large, but it's not connected.

If you're trying to build a tribe, a community or a movement, and you want it to be safe and beyond reproach at the same time, you will fail.

Heretical thoughts, delivered in a way that capture the attention of the minority--that's the path that works."


-Seth Godin


This is a excerpt from Seth Godin's blog and as I read it I practically jumped out of my chair with a YES!! 


I attended a training this weekend that literally changed my life. We talked about this exact thing... those of us that want to make a change in this world have to be willing to step out on the "skinny branches of life" and risk. The center of our world is large but very disconnected. What would happen if we all came together? If we all lived our lives outside the "status qou" in a way that actually united people instead of turning them against each other. What a world that would be! 


It starts with one...sign me up!


Shine ON!!!
