In "Self-Reliance", Emerson believes that conformity and consistency hinder the development of a person.

"Self-Reliance" is an essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, a famous American philosopher, in 1841. In the essay, he states that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". He believes that consistency affects self-trust in a negative way because it limits a person to the past perception that other people have of him/her. Moreover, he believes that conformity is a negative characteristic because it prevents people from staying true to their inner nature by making them comply to social pressures. In that way, according to Emerson, consistency and conformity had to be avoided because they limited people's minds and souls.
