Unlearn Your Childhood Mindset
We are programmed to fail from reaching our potential, as kids.
We are taught to stand in line, fit in with others, be like everyone else, play things safe, follow the rules... if we want to be accepted by others. If we want to avoid criticism.
Dress like your friends. Like what your friends like. Think like your friends. Act like them. Participate in the same things.
The herd mentality. Safety in numbers. Moooo! 🐄🐄🐄
Take a look at yourself today, as an adult. You likely still hold on to these same learned behaviors, and have never given them any thought. It isn't your fault, it is all that you know!
Your uniqueness is what makes you remarkable. Critics offer no remarks, if you blend in with the masses. Being brave enough to stand apart, is the very definition of "outstanding". Owning your vulnerability is a sign of courage. We admire those who are willing to put themselves out there for a good cause, yet we hide in fear about doing it ourselves. Why?
There is no reward for being average. If you don't have any critics, it simply means you aren't doing anything worth noticing. You are merely blending in, avoiding risk and living with the fear of rejection. Just like the masses.
All the famous and influential people we recognize, simply decided to step out of the norm. To show their uniqueness.
You may not be living up to your potential. Be outstanding. 👊
