Individuals

Day 23: Letting go of herd mentality

Individuals we can be. Don’t follow herd mentality just because you fear the mob. Fortune favours the underdogs!

With confidence in our convictions, we can form our own opinions. We’ve every right to our own thoughts. Let pack mentality be untaught.

Forget the pressures of your peers, and be yourself. Find new frontiers where you can be your truest you and formulate your own world-view.

Throughout the month of June, I‘m taking the Know Thyself, Heal Thyself 30 Day Poetry Challenge, with thanks to Diana C. Thanks also to Tree Langdon for inspiring me to take part.
