The Art of Non-Conformity

I should read my emails more often...

In attempt to find more sanity and gain control (hmm..) I'm cleaning out my inbox! I found this from a dear friend that is worth sharing. It is from The Art of Non-Conformity blog. I find it very much captures my feelings about my "pivotal social work moment." Enjoy!

"Most of the time, the obvious way around an obstacle isn’t the only way.  Looking for another option is called the unconventional strategy—when you have the same goal as anyone else, but you find a different way to achieve it.  It works in education, career, personal finance, social causes, politics, relationships, etc. Oh, and it can even work in sports and contests too.

Take 27 seconds today to watch this video of a middle-school American football team that adopted an unconventional strategy to achieve a traditional victory.”
