Mike's Quotes #24: "Follow the Crowd?"


"If you're doing what EVERYBODY ELSE is doing then don't you think you should stop for a moment and consider what RESULTS everybody else is getting from what they're doing?"
 - Mike Spillman (06.23.14)


"If everybody jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?"

This has probably been said by just about every Mother over the past 100 years! Of course, her response would come from an answer to the question, "WHY did you do ....whatever it was" and someone chose to answer with the ill-advised response, "Everybody else was doing it!"

Apparently, many never quite learned the lesson that Mom was trying to teach them when they were kids because many still seem to be following the "everybody else is doing it" mentality. 

It doesn't matter how many people are attracted to something, one should always take a moment and ask a few questions such as, "What are the results of those that are following this crowd?"

I suggest you also keep this in mind: Even if there are several - or many - that are getting "results", whatever those results may be they may NOT be the results that YOU need to live according to your PURPOSE and your DESTINY. (If you haven't read and/or listened to the very last topic on "Destiny on Purpose", be sure to do so).

 Many wise people over the years have made the observation that, if you notice that "everybody" is doing a certain thing or going in a certain direction then it is a SURE SIGN that you MUST go the OPPOSITE direction or do the OPPOSITE thing!

It is of utmost importance that YOU "blaze your own trail" and follow YOUR purpose that will lead you to your own powerful destiny! Yes, it can be lonely at times but, friend, stay true to your passion and purpose. Never deviate from that path!

Bottom line: The only results that should truly matter to you are YOUR results and how they impact you and those around you. Don't be fooled by "the crowd".

Be sure to listen to the podcast and watch the video on this topic (links for both, below) to get the "full impact" of today's topic. Also, stop by my FaceBook page (link below) and leave a comment and/or just say "hello" to let me know that you are reading and/or listening to Future You University.

Thanks, and until next time, whatever you do, always be sure to...

"Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"

Mike
