Challenge the conventional
from How Successful People Think: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life by John C. Maxwell
How to Apply This
- Think before you follow popular thinking.
Always focus on what's excellent, not what's popular. The next time you're about to agree with what most people think about something, stop and think for yourself first. - Spend time with people who think out of the box.
Get to know people different from you in terms of background, education, occupation, hobbies, etc. Spending time with unconventional thinkers might inspire you to question conventional thinking and try fresh approaches. - Try new things and approaches.
Don’t be stuck with what’s usual. You’re destined to be extraordinary, so allow yourself to experiment with new things differently. Break out of your routine and try something new! - Review your unpopular thinking.
Ask yourself: “Am I actively rejecting the constraints of common thinking to achieve exceptional results?”
