My New Hat

This week I bought a new hat.

Not just a baseball cap or a stocking cap; a flat cap.

Wear a baseball cap and no one notices. Wear a stocking cap and no one notices (unless its the summer). But I’m not wearing this hat to stand out – I’m wearing it cause I like it.

However, no matter if its a hat, a shirt or a new business; if its against the norm, people will stare. People will take a second look, question your intentions and sometimes even ridicule you.

That’s okay, embrace it. It means you’re taking a step away from status quo. It means that you just might be on the way to something remarkable.

What hats on your head?
