Be Your Unique Self
Filed Under Entrepreneurs with a Conscience |
Whenever I take a vacation, for some reason I seem to notice the people around me more than when I’m in my comfort zone. On my last vacation, I couldn’t help but notice a scary similarity between some of the people I saw. They all had the same fashion sense, wore their hair in the same way, and wore similar accessories to go with their outfits. It piqued my interest about my own originality and whether I was showing my true self.
Seeing people who dressed alike and then seeing those who dressed in their own way, was refreshing, inspiring, and great to be around. It reminded me that it’s OK to be a little different, to think a little different, to talk a little different, to even look a little different.
The fear of being different isn’t unfounded. Like many, when you were younger, fitting in may have been difficult and going against the crowd may have always sparked attention that you may have not wanted. Growing up you carry that fear – but in reality… what is the worst that could happen? Looking back, it wasn’t all that bad to be different, so as adults we have to remember that it’s OK to embrace (and enhance) those differences, and not be scared to show people who you really are.
Enrich your spirit and be your unique self.
