The Path of The Status Quo
“We find comfort among those who agree with us –
growth among those who don’t.”
Frank A. Clark, Author, Writer
As I see it. . . . . . . .
The path of the status quo
To stretch yourself you have to stretch your assumptions . . . . your beliefs . . . . and your mindset. You have to move yourself out of your comfort zone . . . . and into realm of boundless possibilities.
When the people that are around you . . . . are continually agreeing with you. They may be leading you down the wrong path . . . . the path way of the status quo. No one who ever played in the major leagues has ever had a 1000% batting average over their career. And No NFL quarterback has ever completed 100% of their passes over the length of a season.
People around you may be excellent at what they do . . . . but they are not perfect. So it becomes very unlikely . . . . that you are flawless in your thinking . . . . and in your actions. There is always room for personal growth . . . . and become better at what you do.
It’s far better to be surrounded by people who will challenge you . . . . That are willing to look past the status quo . . . . and challenge your assumptions of today . . . . To stretch your thinking to what can be possible tomorrow.
It’s not a question of being perfect in the things you do . . . . it becomes a question of growing and continuous improvement in what you do.
Other people continually agreeing with you won’t make you better . . . . it keeps you locked in the status quo . . . . in the no growth zone.
Being surrounded by yes people . . . . and people that blindly agree with you will not stretch you as a person . . . . or your thinking. You will become stuck in the world of the status quo. Remaining in the status quo won’t make you . . . . or the people around you better . . . . you remain in the land of self-denial.
Evaluate your situation . . . . listen to the comments both pro and con Make the decisions on the best way to make progress . . . . and to move forward.
Agreeing can lead you down . . . . the path of the status quo. When you want to breakout of the status quo . . . . breakaway from limiting thinking . . . . and those around you who are unwilling to challenge you and your thinking to the next level.
