I have been an ardent reader of Mason’s books. His core message in his books is clearly “standing out of the crowd”. The majority, many times, is a group of highly motivated snails. If a thousand people say something foolish, it is still foolish. The truth is never dependent upon consensus of opinion.
I believe one of the greatest compliments that anyone can give you is to say, “You are different”. If you ever want to stand out of the crowd, you need to learn to talk differently, act differently, and perform differently. You should always strive to stand out. There should be something different about you. If you do not stand out in a group, if there is not something unique or different in your life, you should re-evaluate yourself my friend.
One way for you to stand head-and-shoulders above the crowd is to choose to do regular, ordinary things in an extraordinary and supernatural way – with great ENTHUSIASM. God has always done some of His very best work through “ordinary” people when the circumstances appeared to be stacked against them. In fact, God sided with the underdog in every battle described in the Bible- the MINORITY.
Majority rule is not always right. It is usually those people who do not have dreams or visions of their own who want to take a vote on everything. People who are part of a group tend to agree on courses of action that they as individuals know are not right.
Don’t be persuaded or dissuaded by group opinion. It does not make any difference what anyone else believes; you must BELIEVE. Never take direction for your personal life from a crowd. Never choose to quite just because somebody disagrees with you. In fact the two worst things you can say to yourself when you get an idea are; “That’s never been done before” and “That’s been done before”. Someone else’s failure in a certain area does not guarantee your failure.
Be a pioneer and stand out!
Do not be afraid to get HIT with a few Arrows.
