Everyone of us have unique roles to play in this life here on earth and that's what makes us stand out. But when you try to play the role of another person or do what the majority does, then you are fitting in.
God created each and everyone of us uniquely with different roles to play. He gave us all unique assignments and purposes to live and accomplish here on earth.
But unfortunately, we have so many people especially youths who try to fit in the crowd instead of standing out.
We were born different in every ramification. No DNA is the same. Different skin colors, hair colors, personality traits, different perceptions and so many others. So, why try to fit in when you can stand out?
The world evolves beautifully well today because of our uniqueness and differences else it would have been stagnant and boring if we were all same and acting same.
There
might be similar traits but we are a complex mix of emotions,
experiences and opinions. Different reactions to same situation.
The world is made up of extraordinary people and you are one. Stop trying to be ordinary by trying to fit in. You only become outstanding when you stand out.
Lots of people are scared to stand alone. They are scared to dare to be different for fear of being criticized , mocked and rejected. They just want to feel accepted by the crowd or majority of people.
In order to have a large following on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms, they would go with the crowd without an opinion of their own just to feel accepted and liked by all.
According to Hans F Hansen, " It takes nothing to join the crowd but everything to stand out." Only a bold and courageous person can dare to stand out irrespective of what others think or say about him/her.
No matter how many times he/she falls or fails trying to stand out, they don't try to fit in. They remain consistent in standing out irrespective of what happens or what may have happened.
People who try to fit in do so in order not to appear as failures because they focus more on their flaws and weaknesses than their strengths. Failures in the past or fear of failure in the future makes them want to fit in.
Never allow your flaws limit you or make you want to fit in. Your flaws are also a part of who you are. They contribute in what makes you you and what you are.
Identify your flaws, embrace them, work on them and use them as part of your growth and learning process.
Without your flaws, mistakes or certain failures in life there wouldn't be growth in your life. There would be no improvement in your life and craft.
There are those who try to fit in so they don't appear different in the ways they act or speak. They just want to flow with the crowd.
Trying to fit in all the time will make you loose your identity as well as be a puppet in the hands of others.
When you are contented with who you are or what you've got, open to the idea of constant improvement and growth, then you wouldn't feel the need to desperately try to fit in.
When you try to fit in, you limit yourself from living your full potential. You would never know what you can do or capable of doing on your own because you are busy following the crowd instead of reaching out to your inner being.
Its is in being different in our uniqueness that makes every relationship and the world at large a fun place to be in.
1 peter 2 :9-10 calls you a peculiar person so dare to stand out, focus on making a difference with your uniqueness and create an impact in the lives of people around you and the world at large.
There are different ways to stand out in life. You can stand out in your career, stand out in your character, stand out with integrity, stand out being honest in all you do irrespective of the prevailing circumstance.
Another way to stand out is to find what makes you happy and fulfilled and do them. But this can not happen when you continue to try to fit in the crowd.
Be proud and confident of who you are and what you do. Be proud of your dreams and visions. Don't be scared or intimidated to be you and live you. You alone are responsible for your actions.
Be proud to stand out and stand alone in your craft not giving in to fit in the
crowd. Let your standard be a motivation for others to meet up with your standard and an inspiration for them to stand out. Fitting in the crowd lowers your standard.
negative things will always want to remind us of the past and then distract us from what we can do and achieve in the future.
How can you live passionately of what is ahead of you if you are constantly trying to fit in the crowd without trying to be you and do you.
The future God has for us is too important to spend our lives trying to living other people's dreams
God has put plans and purposes ahead of our lives individually for us to live so we can cause a change, touch and impact lives.
Yo are one of those God has created to impact lives here on earth but you can only do that when you dare to stand out living your your dream and exhibiting your unique talent.
