Don’t fall in line – be different

I read a quote some time back:

Orange and purple don’t go together.

Funny that!  Perhaps they should tell the sunsets that I have experienced over the past couple of weeks because they certainly haven’t heard that one!

As I sit watching another wonderful sunset change shape, pattern and colour, I am considering how often we conform to something we once heard, believing it to be true.  Do I take what I hear as ‘gospel’?

There comes a time when it is right for me to be different; to challenge how people expect me to behave – because that’s what I always did in the past; to swim against the tide of public opinion sometimes.

It is scary being different.  I love walking down the street and seeing people’s ideas of fashion!  Some certainly don’t match my idea of what is considered ‘good taste’!  But does that make them wrong and me right?  NO.

Let’s give people room to express themselves.  Let’s not put them into a box, or label them.  To do so inhibits them.  Let’s see how we can free people from conformity, and allow them to soar.

So, as I watch another sunset subside into the west, I am being challenged to do somethings differently in my life; to not be predictable and to be surprising.

So what colour combination shall I wear tomorrow?  😉
