The Crowd Is More Lost Than You Are
The reason why I started ‘The Mutual Inspiration Society’

Sahal is my hero.
AKA Sahal is my new muse.
She decided to follow her own intuition and journey last night. All of her friends told her not to shoot with a stranger. She did it anyways.
Nothing like a recent break-up to provide a girl with laser-like focus.
We took this photo as I was walking Sahal to her car. I remembered my new favorite photographer’s latest photos and like osmosis I channeled them into my own lastnightsparty version. People are so afraid of being influenced by other people. Like if they’re inspired by someone else’s work they won’t be original or something?
Don’t you realize that you were born original?
So many people will die never knowing the ultimate goal. Society has so successfully indoctrinated us with toxic daily messages that some of us have lost that inner compass.
Society functions best when you forget that it’s not about money. It’s not about fame. It’s not about having a thick ass. The ultimate goal is to express your authentic self. Everything else you may experience in life that’s not in service to this idea is just a distraction.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not anti-society. I don’t believe in A’s with circles around them. I understand why we need society-at-large. Hell, I love growing, operating, eating, making love and thriving within it. But there comes a point in your evolution when you realize that the old way isn’t working anymore. Following the crowd isn’t working anymore. You may even come to realize the ugly truth: the crowd is more lost than you are.
Soon a new vision of the world starts growing inside of you. You see a new path with a better set of rules. You start looking completely crazy to others. But you know that you’re not crazy.
This is when your ideas need protection. Realize that the only chance for your ideas to survive in a world that’s trying to extinguish them is to create or join a group of like-minded people. You need to find a society… within the society.
In his book ‘Think And Grow Rich’, Napoleon Hill talks about it. He calls it the ‘Master Mind’. It’s when you surround yourself with people whose sum thinking is more than the individual parts. Religious people call it the ‘Inner Circle’. You need to find something like that. People that think like you do — so you’re able to protect the longevity of your non-mainstream ideology.
But some people don’t have access to others who think like they do. They may be isolated or in a small town. They may be under the influence of a heavy-handed family. Or maybe they just don’t have the courage to express it to the world yet.
For all those people on the sidelines… I created The Mutual Inspiration Society.
I get you.
I understand why you do what you do.
I’m watching you.
I’m rooting for you.
If you agree, please share this with your inner circle.
