I heard something that just touched my heart last week… We
are called to be rare.
I just love that thought!
And, it really made me think about all the ways that I adhere to society’s standards instead of my own. How many times during the day do I just go with what society tells me is acceptable? How many times do I do something simply because it’s a habit, even if it makes me uncomfortable? And, I am super guilty of acting, talking, looking and thinking like the people around me, to appear a certain way, so that I receive approval from some, and consciously set myself apart from others. And, how many times to I judge people for not being like me, and having similar priorities?
This week, let’s make sure we stand out in a way that shows everyone around us, we aren’t like everyone else. Prove to people we come into contact with that there are good people in this world. Hold the door for someone, be polite even when you’re ready to lose your shit, and go that extra mile when you don’t have to.
