“Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been.” David Bowie
So how did we lose our way? Why do we stray from being our true selves?
My theory. We’ve been socialized to fit in, follow orders, and stay within the “norm”. And this is mostly the byproduct of the modern education system.
It wasn’t designed to create autonomous, free thinking and creative people. It was designed to build human computers to work in a factory or fight in trench warfare.
Completely anonymous and replaceable.
The 21st century doesn’t need factory workers. They’re replaced by machines and robots. We need thinkers. Philosophers. Artists. Poets.
This is your call to arms. Be the person you should have always been. This is what it means to work on your personal brand—
To find your voice. Your identity. Your values. Your gift. To find yourself. Again.
