Why is it that when you’re surrounded by the white sheep you end up going to college to do what all the other white sheep do. They get a degree and become an employee working a typical 9-5 job for 30 years. They retire at 65 and live the rest of their lives on social security and what their pension/retirement funds provide them.
The white sheep will tell you that you need to work hard to get raises and promotions. They will tell you that you need to be the best you can, to later come to find out that you are unnoticed in the white sheep world. You learn to act like them, to live like them and to eat like them. You learn that living in suburbs that provide no lawns, and being carefully watched by your neighbors is absolutely normal.
You are told, that you need to actively engage in social media on a daily basis so that you don’t miss out on the daily dosage of news. They will tell you that you need to come home to unwind and spend your nights wasting time behind a TV screen.
They tell you stuff about democrats and about republicans. You are taught about political correctness and how not to abuse it in the place of work. You are taught that you need to spend a half a million dollars in student loans to become a doctor, so later you can marry another doctor who brings in the other half a million dollars in debt into the equation of happiness. They say that is when “you made it.”
The white sheep will tell you that you should build your credit score by getting into massive amounts of debt so that later when you purchase your house, they can see that you are a perfect consumer. You are now worthy and legally responsible to carry a 30 year mortgage and here’s your $2,000 monthly mortgage.
You are told that you will be content if you get a brand new car (with 0% interest) to pay $700-$1,300 a month for that piece of medal box you drive on to and from work.
You are told that going to Disneyland, standing in line for 2 hours in some scorching hot heat and that is what the kids dream of. Right after you spend $5,000 on the Disneyland trip you become overwhelmed in credit card debt and no way of getting out. But that’s okay because you are building your credit score.
The black sheep, on the other hand, will do things that are unconventional. They will close their eyes to what the white sheep do and they start developing needs that white sheep didn’t even know they needed! They will start innovating and pushing the limits to go against the beliefs of the white sheep.
The black sheep will get heavily obsessed about becoming a change for this world, by transforming lives and by solving solutions so that the white sheep can have an easier life. They innovate, they create, they prevail by going in complete opposite of what the white sheep teach from beginning of ages. So, while the white sheep are wasting their precious life behind a screen, the black sheep are actively learning and creating.
I’m assuming that if you are reading this post you are the black sheep. You have the drive to make, build and create every spare minute you have. You are a black sheep that is generating new rules of how the white sheep will live their future lives.
