Why should you murder status quo?

“I followed systems that were successful, that are too old and now many people use them and they lost their value and then I decided to challenge status quo.”

The definition for status quo is “the existing state of affairs, especially regarding social or political issues.”

The methods and systems that are accepted by many which are still in use by a majority of people, are part of status quo.

This status quo don’t work for everyone now. It is because of competition and changing conditions.

So there is a necessity of new systems and the innovators need them now for a better future.

To build something new, you need to destroy every system that doesn’t produce results and therefore I called it murdering the status quo.

This is very important to take a leap and risk everything for something that actually produce best results.

You can see the great ideas by many people that changed the fate of world and all these people murdered status quo(challenged status quo).

Even if you take action now and kill every system that bounds in limits need to be destroyed and in its place, the new systems and methods for human progress has to be introduced.

Take education system and it’s too complex and old, and prepares many workers than producing more innovators, who can change the world into a better place.

If we replace the complete system with a new system that support the modern necessities. It would help many to be the best and get right skills necessary for their lives.

The reasons why people follow the status quo, blindly are:

  • Resistance to change: Change is tough and so people mostly ignore it.
  • Comfort: They look for comfort than making something better.
  • Fear of risk: They don’t want to risk and therefore they stick to old outdated systems.

“Remember, not taking any risk is the real risk.”

  • Fear of judgement: They fear judgement by the family and society. That’s the reason, why many wants to become doctors, engineers and other top professionals but not some other professionals, even though they make you succeed.
  • Inferior mindset: Many people are satisfied with less than they deserve. This is the reason why they are not ready to face challenge status quo.
  • Time-consuming process: challenging status quo and pursuing something new is time-consuming process and they don’t want to wait longer.

The reasons why you should challenge status quo are:

  • Less competition: Very few people are in the process to compete and you have more chances to succeed. Even if you fail, you would learn some wonderful lessons that will help you in the process of success.
  • Superior feeling: you will enjoy a life that no-one is. You will feel superior, as you are taking risk and doing something different from everyone.
  • Producer mindset: You will get a producer mindset instead of consumer mindset, which is still great. You will be in the process of creating better things for the world.
  • Fame and wealth: Once you become successful, you will have unlimited fame and more wealth. People who criticized you at the beginning will come to you for your precious advice.

“Challenging status quo is a difficult process.But believe me, you will enjoy the journey.”

Murder the status quo and take a risk in creating a better systems and methods that work well for you and there is the real meaning of life.
