Start your own movement.

Don't just live your life, poke it.

Social movements can be thought of as organized yet informal social entities that are engaged in extra-institutional conflict that is oriented towards a goal.

— Jonathan Christiansen

Everyone says the world is the way it is, live your life inside the world try not to alter things. Have fun, save a little money essentially do what everyone does but you need to understand everything thats just “works” is made up by people around you.

Understanding the fact that life can be influenced by your actions (movements) changes everything, finding your passion, work for a cause or solve a social issue that bugs people.

Being the first leader or the follower is the same shit either way you need to have intrinsic motivation. Your idea or movement needs to be channeled through you and not anyone else, copying mainstream content/idea/life isn't going to get your further in life. To be the first, you need to start the work and not ask for permission DIY, don't wait for anyone just pick up your keyboard and start working on it. When you are early and alone just beg, borrow your way through until you get what you want. You don't need the best things, don't wait for the perfect conditions.

Just do it with whatever you have at least start and bring something to life, which will make a difference.
