It is essential, day by day,
to remain responsible
for our actions and decisions,
​accepting our faults
​without assigning blame


Herd-Mentality: To Avoid Responsibility

Have you ever stayed quiet in a meeting because you did not want to come across as being unsupportive of the group's efforts? 
If so, you have become a follower and there is a term for this suffering: “herd-mentality.”

Herd-mentality is when everyone in a group begins to think alike; it is when people make decisions as a caucus discouraging individuality and initiative.It is when the group consensus cancels out common sense, alternatives or criticism.

Herd-mentality occurs when a group has a strong and persuasive leader, when it has a high level of unity or when it has intense pressure from the outside.

So, here is my thought:

It is essential to stay away from the herd-mentality; lack of conflict or opposition results in poor decisions because alternatives are never fully analyzed.

Be willing to stand out; you won’t lead the pack by sticking with the multitude, you will lead by daring to do things differently.

Develop your own opinion; learn about your choices so you can make intelligent and well-informed decisions.

Just because everyone is agreeing, it doesn’t mean they are right; take time to make decisions, ask questions and evaluate your options.

Do not be concerned about what the rest of the people think about you; choose what is best for you! 

Keep in mind: herd-mentality is an easy way to avoid personal responsibility; most importantly, it takes guts to walk away from a herd!

“If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.” ― George S. Patton Jr.

    Who I am today as a person is largely due to my failures!
    Failures are the speed bumps in life that matter!  They are not regrets but small disappointments that wake up the strength within us! Failures are the process of learning and improving!  Without failures we simply are at a status quo!  

    "success is built on many failures..."
