Tap Back Into Your Originality
There is only one you. You’re an original. No two people have the same fingerprints or DNA code. We are individuals born with originality.What we have inside to offer to the world is different from anyone else. The people who know this and express it through their personality and work are some of the most fulfilled people on earth. By taking what’s uniquely theirs, they are true to themselves and not swayed by the opinions or judgments of others. What freedom! And when they use their exclusive gift to serve others, they experience a happiness and joy that’s second to none.
So if we are all born with originality, why do most people settle for being average or being like everyone else instead of sharing their unique talents? After birth, several things happen to take us farther and farther away from what makes us special. Well-meaning people tell us what we should be doing instead of supporting us in what we want to do. If you want to grow up and be a singer, you might be told you don’t have the voice, face or body for it. We believe it and take another path. The other thing that happens is we begin to care what other people think about us. Being liked and not being judged becomes more important than doing what makes us dance inside. So we pursue work and material things that other people think we should have. This only leads to an average life where your dreams die inside of you.
Well, there’s great news. No matter where you are on your journey or career path, you can pivot and begin expressing your talent again. Pick up a paint brush. Grab your guitar. Develop that business idea. It’s not too late. Here are three steps to becoming an original once more.
1. Close your eyes and think about what you can do that no one else can do quite like you can.
2. Share it with a friend and ask them to support you with a goal that expresses your unique gift. If you want to sing, then sing. Pick a song or write one and perform a little each week for your friend.
3. Take action weekly. Find an art class and go every week. No money. No problem. Take a free online class by watching YouTube videos on art.
You are awesome so don’t settle for being average anywhere in your life. Find people who support you, rather than judge. And lastly, be you. You’re one of a kind!
