10 Things That Happen When You Refuse To Accept The Status Quo

What is the secret to success, changing your life, or even changing the world?   Well, for one, it's refusing to accept the so-called status quo.   It's when you start believing in what's possible, despite the contrary. It's when you believe something better awaits you. It's when you know that what you want or are believing is possible as long as you keep going. It's when you refuse to stop hoping.   No, this is not blind optimism where you ignore the roadblocks up ahead. Instead, this is what happens to you when you refuse to accept the status quo. It's about having hope that is so stubborn and so persistent in refusing to not give up until you see the change you want. It's a hope that is defiant on believing in what's possible. It's a hope that will you make you prone to keep trying, to keep working, to keep believing, to keep reaching, and to keep fighting. And most importantly, it's hoped that will forever change how you see the world and the actions that you can take to affect it.   Here are some other things that can happen when you refuse to accept the status quo:
