Are you just going with the flow of our culture, or are you fighting it in any area of your life?
Why this focus? Being self-employed is in-and-of-itself, counter-cultural. Not the norm of the masses. So along with the pursuit of self-employment, we generally find other areas of swimming upstream.
*Pictured is my youngest, number seven, Nekoda. 1.5 years and we’re teaching him early to swim upstream of the culture
I posted this question on Facebook today and now have about 45 comments:
There is a flow to our culture, right? Where do you NOT ‘go with the flow’? What aspects of your life have you (or you try) done a 180 and are fighting upstream?
See all the comments posted here:
– Facebook thread
The common topics were:
Media/Entertainment
Parenting
Schooling/Education
Work (of course)
Diet
Exercise
Faith/Church/Tithing
Clothing/Dress
Finances
Consumerism
Haircuts/Tattoos/Piercings
Along the way comments were made about ‘drinking the Kool-Aid’ and starting a commune (OK, I brought that one up).
I read over most of them and shared them, including which ones I adhered to, in our show today. Here is the audio. But…I’m asking you to share. Where…do you fight against the flow in your life? Please comment below.
