For most of us, we don't like to go beyond our comfort zone because we fear the consequences. We want to stay in control of our decisions and push ourselves willingly to the things that make us happy. Even if we don't like how things are going with our lives, we are pretty happy to let things be so long as it won't affect our overall happiness.

But, some people find this status quo boring and would do their best to challenge themselves. They want to keep trying something new and learn more about themselves. These types of people are known as non-conformists.

There isn't anything wrong with being a conformist. However, in certain scenarios, such as in work, there is a lot of benefit in being a non-conformist.

Down below are some of the reasons why you should consider it:

  1. Being a non-conformist will allow you to explore your potential and explore your strengths. If you remain a conformist, you will not be able to see opportunities where it will be possible for you to exercise your skills and see how well you fare. After this opportunity, you can determine if you will still need to practice and drive yourself in being better before moving to the next step.
  1. Being a non-conformist will help you overcome challenges, especially in the workplace. As a non-conformist, you will see challenges as a learning experience and even contribute to the challenge for the benefit of others. You won't hesitate to ask questions and innovate ideas to achieve your targets.
  2. Since you are not afraid of challenges, you may find yourself having more opportunities for a promotion or additional incentives. With the workplace constantly changing and new things are adapted to keep up with the market, employers want workers who are not afraid of change and can immediately adapt. Non-conformists fit this requirement perfectly, and you will be noticed through your actions. Employers also want employees who are not afraid to take risks and learn from them should they fail because they will learn from it.
  3. Non-conformists can also help motivate others to do their best and reach their goals. Since people will see you as someone who isn't afraid of challenges and improving the project, they will be motivated into following in your footsteps and take the leap of fate. If the workplace cooperates, it will be good for the company's output and productivity.

You must also be prepared to motivate others and be a leader so that everyone can reach their goals too. Some of the world's most successful people are non-conformists, which is why you shouldn't be afraid to let your curiosity free and explore what's beyond your comfort zones.
