Remember when you were a teen and you’d ask for permission and be denied. Only to retort with “Well xxxx’s parents are letting him go!”
And then Mom and Dad would drop a “Well, if xxxx jumped off a bridge, would you?”
Of course you wouldn’t. You just wanted to stay out an extra hour past curfew.
Then there are times, once we got older, where we would want to do something, but we had to wait for someone else to try it first. You know jumping off a cliff, streaking through the hallways, trying raw oysters.
“I’ll do it if you do it, but you go first.”
It’s all about following a leader, and being a part of the crowd. A sense of belonging and feeling good about our choices.
Well, when it comes to raising money for Team Diabetes, my friend Carolyn has gone first. She jumped in, clicked the banner (which she designed) and threw a few bucks in the empty jar.
I have committed to pledging all freelance income to the Team Diabetes cause, and have already done a couple jobs for the cause, but I’m still waiting for the payment to come in.. so, in the meantime, would you mind clicking the button below and dropping some money in the jar to keep Carolyn’s company?
