There is a fantastic, fulfilling feeling when we feel that we fit in. We want to be accepted, acknowledged, and appreciated. We want to be part of something bigger than us.
But sometimes the desire to be included clouds our judgement and we get coaxed into deciding to do things that we otherwise might not have done.
There are many reasons to follow the herd; right versus wrong, what we see and what were shown. Whether pushed or pulled, whatever you think that you must do to fit in, trust me, you probably don’t!
