Schools Teach Conformity, Not Greatness: Your Escape Plan

Published 2025-05-13 08-46

Summary

Discover why schools teach conformity, not greatness, and the essential life principles I had to learn outside the classroom that changed everything about success and personal growth.

The story

Ever feel like school taught you to fit in, not stand out? I spent years wondering why traditional education left me feeling unprepared for real life.

When I dug deeper, I realized our education system rarely teaches us about cultivating purpose, trust, or gratitude – qualities that actually drive success. Schools train us to avoid failure rather than see it as essential for growth.

This disconnect led me to develop what I call “The Journey” – a process of unlearning limiting beliefs and taking personal responsibility for our development.

I was amazed to discover principles like the “Law of the Harvest” [consistent small efforts beat occasional intensity] and how our brain’s Reticular Activation System can be programmed to focus on what truly matters to us.

These aren’t abstract theories – they’re practical tools I wish someone had shared with me before I turned 21.

That’s why I wrote “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21” – for anyone who senses there’s more to success than what traditional education offers. Because greatness isn’t about your age; it’s about embracing your uniqueness and taking charge of your growth.
