We look to conform, to fit in, and\nin many ways it makes our lives easier. By allowing \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201clife\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d to choose for us, we\ndon\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t have to think. We don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t have to risk being wrong. Or being ridiculed. But\nthen, whose life do we end up living?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Broad brush-strokes of conformance are ingrained into us at\nan early age \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a6 go to school, get a job, get married, have kids \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a6 no one ever\nsays \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201crip your clothes off and run naked down the beach\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d (well, no one sober\nanyway).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet maybe there are moments when running naked down the\nbeach is exactly what we need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess what I am trying to say is that sometimes in life,\nwe are the best situated to tell exactly what we need. So adjust that exposure,\nstretch out that shutter-speed, and pull in the aperture. It can all serve to\nbring our lives more into focus, make our moment more dramatic, and enrich the\ncolors of our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take control this week. Throw your life off auto and live\nyour life your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See you at the beach ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7628-1024x683.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7628-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2471\" data-link=\"http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2471\" class=\"wp-image-2471\" srcset=\"http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7628-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7628-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7628-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7628-1200x800.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7628.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7635-1024x683.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7635-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2481\" data-link=\"http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2481\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" srcset=\"http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7635-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7635-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7635-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7635-1200x800.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/nevilleronan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/p7635.jpg 1799w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I admit it.
