Dare To Be Different

Somebody doesn't like you? Good. No one ever made an impact on the world without standing out from the crowd. So embrace your unique qualities. They're what makes you unforgettable.

Most of us are afraid to be controversial or even to be intensely who we are. We're like lemonade with too much water in it and too few lemons. We dilute our "flavor" so we won't offend anyone. And in the process we give away our power, the essence of who we are that makes us unique and unforgettable.

The world belongs not to the one who fits in but to the one who stands out. In music, art, entertainment, business, etc., it's the maverick, the one who gets "carried away", who wins the day. OK, so you may not want to rule the world, but to get whatever it is you do want, the principle is the same...be unabashedly yourself.
