The dictionary defines normal as “conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.”

When you conform to a standard, it often means being something you’re not. I know this as I spent too many years trying to be normal by conforming to someone else’s standards. I can tell you that normal can be stressful, confining, and depressing at times.

How do you expect to be amazing if you’re hiding your true self? You will be at your best when you let all of you show up. Be unique and unexpected. Let your quirkinesses shine. Don’t be afraid to let them see your true self.

Embrace everything that makes you unique and let your amazing self shine! While you’re at it, encourage the same for everyone around you. Then watch the amazing things that’ll start happening.

You’ve got this.
