Were You Born To Fit In, Or To Stand Out?

Were you born to be the same as everyone else?

Are you a clone, a sheep a carbon copy?

Is your destiny dependent on the decisions of others?

Are you meant to be a small cog in a big wheel?

Are you supposed to be anonymous, just another member of the herd?

Or were you born to stand out?

Do you have unique skills that enable you to do things that others can’t?

Do you take responsibility for your future?

Do you have the capacity to do remarkable work?

Are you courageous enough to speak out when necessary?

Are you innovative and creative?

Do you understand that standing out doesn’t mean notoriety or infamy, but consistent excellence?

Dr. Suess once said, “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”

My hope for you (as it is for me) is that the quality of your work, the calibre of your character and the boldness of your aspirations enable you to stand out as you live the life that you were born for.
