This is for my fellow rebels
To the defiant ones
To those that have both middle fingers up, chest up and head held high
Welcome to the rebellion I’m advocating that you stand for something, stand up for yourself and stand out from the crowd
This ain’t about group Think
No, think for yourself – you don’t agree with what I write? Great, why would you? You’re not me, we don’t possess the same worldview
So how can we rebel together when we’re not on the same page?
We don’t
You have your cause and I have mine, I’m just encouraging you to go hard for yours as I intend to go for mine
From now on this space is dedicated to keeping you my fellow rebels in tune with your own unique rebellious causes
Play on playas
Rebelling in my book means doing the opposite of easy
It’s hanging on when everybody else is telling you to quit. Going for it (whatever ‘it’ means to you) when you’re scared, doubtful and uncertain of the outcome
Rebel’s bet on themselves to win – putting their last penny towards a project or a plan even when nobody else believes
Rebels disconnect their allegiance to friends and family when at work because they know their love for what’s near and dear to them can be exploited so they keep that close to their chest
Rebels disconnect from work when with family and friends because they know that nobody ever wished they spent more time in the office when it’s all said and done
Rebels are courageous in their self expression, they address issues head on, saying what they mean and meaning what they say
Rebels decline an opportunity to gossip about others because they couldn’t careless about talking about another persons life when they can focus on their own – besides, karma’s a bitch
Rebels stand in the arena of life bloodied and bruised but still defiant, waiting for the next opponent
Rebels respect their opponents because they are fully aware that they can’t and won’t always win and this next round could be it so they focus
Your opponent is rarely another human being by the way – it’s everything else you face (you know what your up against, you don’t need me to point it out)
Rebels say NO even or perhaps especially when it feels uncomfortable to do so
Rebels hand in their notice and resign rather than playing it safe
Rebels stay working at a job when they know it helps them get a step closer to where they ultimately want go, regardless of whether they get any fulfilment from it
Rebels kill
Not human beings but kill and destroy fears that have plagued them since forever
They assassinate with mastery, before anyone even realises what the heck is going on, they’re in and out
Rebellious men go against the grain that tells them that all men cheat – no
All men are dogs and scoundrels and cannot be trusted – no, not these rebels, we refuse to conform to societies ideas of masculinity
Rebellious women declare ‘me too’ and demand equal pay as well as equal rights because they know that ultimately that’s what they deserve
Rebellious people decide and choose rather than accepting whatever is offered to them. They run companies and households at the same damn time when they choose to
Rebels are non conformists
Rebels are movers and shakers but way before their time
Rebels don’t worry about being liked or being understood – their cause and mission is too important to limit it by the whims and opinions of others
No – rebels move against the system when they have to, blend in if they have to but always do whatever it is that they have to
Rebels show emotion and don’t hold nothing in. Rebels know when it’s appropriate to do so
Rebels make too many mistakes – just in case you start thinking rebels are after perfection – they’re not
Rebels make mistakes on their way towards fulfilling their rebellious cause because in doing so they learn faster, earn bigger and make waves
Rebels refuse the mundane, the statistics, stereotypes and assumptions society try’s to place on them
Rebels are warriors – gladiators in suits as a popular show once put it.
I don’t know what your cause is, what you stand for or what you are trying to achieve but I hope you set the world on fire with whatever it is
The rebellion will be streamed, blogged and digitised – we are on the brink of a revolution
It’s a small club – only rebels welcome
