We all have our own precious differences. We tend to be influenced by conformity and social pressure to be a certain way, say certain words, dress in a certain fashion, own certain things.

As I commented on something last week in a total different perspective than the rest of the group I was with, someone gave me “the look”. Are we all supposed to “think” a certain way? Could there be more than one way to look at life? The answer from the group was: “Well, in your case Nath, it’s normal for you to think that way, but most people don’t.” That got me thinking that if most people were not afraid of not being most people, that there would not be any “most people”. We are all different. People in your life that love you, they do so exactly because of these details and these differences. Shine! Celebrate! Show your true self to the world. If “most people” give you “the look” just smile and say with pride and kindness: “Isn’t that interesting how different we all are!”. Be respectful that they also have their own uniqueness to celebrate! At the end of the day, people who mind don’t matter and people who matter don’t mind!
