“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” –\u00a0Mark Twain<\/strong><\/p>\nIt sounds trite – as some of Mr Twain’s quotes can – but the deeper message here, for me at least, is to reflect when you find yourself marching to the same drum as everyone else.<\/p>\n
Not that it’s a bad thing to march to the same drum. Great music, for example, touches many people.<\/p>\n
I think it’s more about\u00a0intention<\/em>. When you are being intentional, and still find yourself on the same path, then great. But if you are simply getting carried with the tide, maybe time to pause and reflect.<\/p>\nHave a great day!<\/p>\n
With love,
