#45 Conformity Is Like Gravity
In this Question and Quote episode, Arnold Beekes asks: what experience has changed your perspective? It can be from yesterday, this week or years ago, and he asks what you were doing and what inspired, triggered or hurt you. Knowing which experiences and texts change your perspective helps you learn and grow, and if nothing comes to mind, pay attention over the next few days to what does. The quote is “Conformity is like gravity. It pulls you down. It takes a lot of effort and energy to break free. But once you are free, you will float and be limitless.” Arnold says many forces in society are designed to make you conform, from the obedient citizen to the employee who does exactly what the boss says, in how you look, dress, behave and what you know, with exams testing whether you have memorized what they want. That process ignores your uniqueness, pulls you down and leaves you unsatisfied, with a feeling that you have more potential than you are allowed to use. His call is to move from fitting in to flying out.

#BetweenTheEars #BrainUpgrade #Conformity #Uniqueness #ArnoldBeekes #SelfAwareness
Welcome, I'm Arnold and this is the question and quote version of the Between the Ears podcast. The goal is to enable you to unleash and use your uniqueness. Question.
What experience has changed your perspective? What experience has changed your perspective? And this experience can be something which happened yesterday, this week, but it can also something from years ago. It doesn't matter. What was that experience? What were you doing? What inspired you or triggered you or heard you? Did you change your perspective? It's very, very important to know what things, what texts are changing your perspective, because then you can use it to learn and grow.
So, and if you cannot come up with anything, that's also fine. Then pay attention to today and the next few days, what causes you to change your perspective. Quote.
Conformity is like gravity. It pulls you down. It takes a lot of effort and energy to break free.
But once you are free, you will float and be limitless. Many, many of the forces in our society are designed to make you conform. To be an obedient citizen.
To be an employee who does exactly what his or her boss tells you to do. Or what your teacher tells you to do. Everywhere they want conformity.
In the way you look. In the way you dress. In the way you behave.
In the way what your knowledge is. That's what they do with exams. In the exams they are just testing whether you have memorized what they want you to know.
It pulls you down. Because it ignores your uniqueness. And it's that process of samification which pulls you down.
And makes you feel very, very unhappy. Unsatisfied. And like, hey, deep down inside I feel I have a potential and I can do more.
But they don't allow me. They don't want me to do that. That is what conformity does with you.
So it's time to move from fitting in to flying out. Please remember. We need your uniqueness.
Be a better maker. For yourself. For others.
For the world.
