Challenge the status quo from "summary" of Across That Bridge by John Lewis
To move forward and create positive change, we must be willing to question the way things are and challenge the status quo. This means not accepting the current state of affairs simply because it is the way things have always been done. We must be willing to ask difficult questions, push boundaries, and seek out new possibilities. Challenging the status quo requires courage and a willingness to confront the systems and structures that uphold inequality and injustice. It means standing up to power and speaking out against oppression, even when it is difficult or uncomfortable. It requires a commitment to justice and a belief that a better world is possible. When we challenge the status quo, we are not simply trying to shake things up for the sake of it. We are seeking to create a more just and equitable society, one where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. This means dismantling the systems of power and privilege that hold some people back while propelling others forward. It is not an easy task to challenge the status quo, as it often requires us to go against the grain and swim against the current. But it is a necessary task if we are to build a more just and equitable world for all. We must be willing to take risks, speak truth to power, and stand up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. By challenging the status quo, we can create real and lasting change in our communities and in the world at large. We can build a more just and equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. It is up to each of us to take up this challenge and work towards a better future for all.
