Till this day. I live by that saying:
“If you don’t stand for anything, you’ll fall for everything.”
In the digital age we’re bombarded with everything. The good, bad and ugly.
Lies and truths that make up our world view. Social media platforms have got us thinking every single way. Up down left right and it’s tough.
So buckling down and having a world view that evolves as you learn and grow is a must.
Like having a moral compass on whether you’re gonna do this or that. If it’s write or wrong etc.
As a kid you were born and raised a certain way with a certain set of beliefs (whether they are right or wrong) well that’s just down to a lived experience.
However you need to adopt something that you can stand behind and believe in and if you are wrong (which will happen) you can course correct, learn and grow yet again.
I’m creating a little Silly Goose Manifesto which is essentially the way I see the world and the way/reasoning behind why I approach things the way I do. From my writing, to the way I carry myself in the real world and online. It’s by no means perfect but it’s a solid base which helps me just be me.
I’ll be sending it out when it’s done. Take a look. See if it makes sense and hey, if you’d like to adopt the Silly Goose Philosophy, well then that manifesto is all you’ll need.
