Avoid popularity; it has many snares, and no real benefit. – William Penn

I would guess that if you asked 10 people if popularity was important to them at least 7 or 8 would say – no, not even close.

But if you asked them how they decide what to wear, who to hang out with, what to drive, where to live and some of the other important decisions in life – maybe, just maybe, popularity had an undue influence.

That is the trap.

We start to think of what other people will think before asking questions like – Does this line up with my values? Or What is my real goal here?

We’re wise enough to dismiss the concept of popularity but get muddled up on the small (and sometimes big) stuff.

I don’t have the answer here, just a friendly reminder to avoid the trap.

Make it a great day.
