\"\"<\/a>I snapped this shot of a restored vintage Ford camper van when I was at the grocery store this week.<\/h4>\n

It was like a go big or going home, sort of thing…big Pink<\/span> van style.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

I enjoyed the brash van, and even more I enjoyed what it stood for.<\/p>\n

Non conformity.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Today remember this 1 Thing:
\n\u2022 Make sure you have your own Big Pink Van Moment. <\/strong>Maybe once per week, if you can’t handle the good medicine of once per day.<\/em><\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

Conformity is a threat to innovation and full-bodied creativity<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>(Click to tweet this adage.)<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
