Why There’s No “Right Way” to Create, Live, or Work

One Idea, a Thousand Angles

I’ve been thinking about something lately—something that’s hard to ignore once you see it.

Every idea has another angle.

And not just a slightly different take—sometimes a completely opposite belief. One that feels just as true, backed by its own logic, experience, and proof.

The Many Angles of Any Topic

This isn’t just about big philosophical debates. It applies to almost everything.

  • The content you create.

  • The way you live your life.

  • How you interpret an idea or concept.

For every decision, there’s a different perspective that challenges it—and from the other person’s point of view, they might be completely right.

I’ve noticed this more and more while running my own brand. I’ll be confident about a certain way of doing things… and then instantly recall a book I read, a podcast I listened to, or advice I heard that framed the exact same thing in a totally different way.

One Person’s “Cringe” Is Another Person’s “Genius”

Here’s a simple example: content.

You can post a video and hear someone call it “cringe,” while another person says it’s smart, inspiring, or even brilliant.

Who’s right? Both. Neither. It depends on their lens—one shaped by taste, values, culture, and past experiences.

And here’s the thing: for every person who agrees with you, there’s a group who doesn’t. And another group who’s indifferent.

No One Right Way

Yes, there are best practices in business, marketing, and creative work. But there’s no universal blueprint—no “one size fits all” that works for everyone.

Once you truly accept that there will always be a perspective that supports you—and another that challenges you—you stop chasing the “right” way and start focusing on your way.

Do It Your Way

Because no matter what you put into the world, you’ll find:

  • People who understand you completely.

  • People who think you’re wrong.

  • People too committed to their own perspective to see yours.

That’s the beauty of it. Every choice, every idea, every piece of work—it’s just one of many possible angles.

If there’s no way to please everyone, we might as well do what feels most true to us.
