Be Different to Make a Difference

Triple Espresso:

Are you willing to be different?

You see, socialized mind encourages you to assimilate and homogenize.

But that just keeps you stuck and constantly having to "compete" with all those who are touting the party line.

Bob Marley was different from the masses...

His reggae beats were pretty much non-existent and vastly different when he arrived on the scene.

Now when you say reggae, what's the FIRST name that pops into your mind?

I bet it's Marley.

Queen was different. 

Their complicated rock, sometimes crossed with opera and classical stringed orchestra, was extremely unusual and extremely long for traditional radio play.

Now Freddie Mercury's soaring vocals and Brian May's complicated riffs on his home-made guitar are legendary.

Being different is difficult. It takes patience, perseverance, and endurance.

It takes vision.

It takes being committed to a cause and calling FAR BEYOND your own personal and immediate needs.

But then again, those who follow the masses most often get absolutely LOST in them.

Many say today that they "want to make a difference."

If you want to "Make a Difference" you must DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

That's how Leaders are made.

That's how legends are made.
