NOTE

The Power of Agency

Having agency means not conforming to societal expectations and rules, but instead finding your own path to success and happiness. Many people are afraid of breaking the rules or being kicked out, but this fear of embarrassment does not register for those who have agency. Following the rules and doing as you're told is not a guarantee for a successful and fulfilling life. Those who step out of the expected norms often find more success and happiness. Having agency allows you to see the world through a different lens, finding alternative paths and solutions. It is about questioning the rules and parameters set by others and deciding for yourself what is best. The people who make the rules are often no smarter than you, and blindly following their lead may not always be the right choice. While rules and laws are important for keeping society safe, it is also essential to acknowledge that sometimes the best way forward is not the prescribed way.
