How many times have you heard someone say, “That’s just the way it’s always been done”? Status Quo hampers the possibility for change and prevents progress. Does challenging the status quo mean becoming an anti-establishment rebel? Or constantly pointing out the flaws in our society? Or being the person who “zigs” when everyone else “zags”? Maybe so. But what if challenging the status quo was something far more positive than negative, more exciting than intimidating?

CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO BRINGS DISRUPTION WHICH IS INSPIRATIONAL AND SETS PARADIGMS FOR GENERATIONS TO FOLLOW.
