It's very empowering.<br />You bring up a good point about the difficulty of being non-conformist. I think much of this stems from the metrics that we're taught to measure the success of our lives with - grades in school, salary or status in careers, forward progression toward promotion, big houses, fancy cars... success? If you create your own metrics for what YOU think is success, and remind yourself of what those metrics are, it helps with the difficulty of choosing a "non-conformist" life. Of course, you have to remind yourself of those metrics in the face of outside voices that try to measure your life in more traditional ways. :-)Bungalow Builderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303129898999026970noreply@blogger.com
