I snapped this shot of a restored vintage Ford camper van when I was at the grocery store this week.
It was like a go big or going home, sort of thing…big Pink van style.
I enjoyed the brash van, and even more I enjoyed what it stood for.
Non conformity.
Today remember this 1 Thing:
• Make sure you have your own Big Pink Van Moment. Maybe once per week, if you can’t handle the good medicine of once per day.
That means, screw convention, and say, “Heck with the norm.” Everyone does things a certain way. We fall in line. We act like sheep in the flock of sameness. We dress with the conventions. Drive a conventional car. Live in a conventional home. Eat conventional meals. Find conventional entertainment. Know conventional people. There’s no rule that says you have to do that. I’ll go further:
Conformity is a threat to innovation and full-bodied creativity. (Click to tweet this adage.)
Conformity becomes an unconscious mode of operation. It’s stifling. We must break out of that, routinely. Otherwise, it’s like we get involved in a slow creative death deprived of the oxygen of innovation.
What did your last Big Pink Van Moment look like?
What dream do you have that falls into this category?
