Tradition is a Mirage

Tradition is a Mirage

We all just got away from the yuletide feeling and getting ready to get into the drills and hustle for the new year. Well, as I've always said, there's no time in which a valuable life lesson can't be learnt, hence I present to you my Christmas story.

The yuletide is one time for some age long family traditions, most times the tradition have eaten deep into our life's ways so much that we fail to imagine the season without those traditions talk much of not doing them.

Well, I came into this yuletide season having a thought of not doing some of these traditions and I had always feared within that this would be the most boring time I'd have around this period. With that in mind, I had clear doubts but the yuletide came in and I blatantly rejected the traditions and it panned out to be one of the best I've had in years.

What does this story have to teach us, here it comes. Society have made us feel that what uphold the world is the traditions and societal norms that have been set before now but what society failed to tell us that if you want monumental success you'd have to break the traditions, norms and rules.

Traditions, norms and rules are set by folks who broke the previous ones, so why then would you be held down in this new year by a couple of archaic rules that has no business with what you're doing now. From time immemorial it has been said that it's madness to do the same thing in the same way and expect a different outcome, hence if you're to come out of 2020 better than you did 2019, you must be ready to do things differently and boldly than you did in 2019.

Traditions always have a list of failures because it keeps that as a record to dissuade any person that is trying to act differently, and don't wrongly see this as just societal norms alone as you'd be totally wrong. It most times comes in that counsel from maybe a loved one or a friend or even family. They may seem to want to protect you from supposed loss but they are also chasing you away from incoming success.

Dear one, it's 2020, hence it's time to act differently from the way you have done in previous years to experience all of your brand new expectations. Your dreams are there for the taking only if you're ready to act in favor of them in the case of which you have to break the mirage called tradition.
