Embrace what makes you different !

Be the best version of

YOU !!

Anagha Benny [ IX B ]

Showing the COURAGE to be different and embracing what makes you unique can be one of the most empowering things that you can do for yourself . Be brave and delve into your inner being and appreciate all the traits and quirks that make YOU !

Our differences allow us to stand out and define our place in the world . No two people are the same and thank goodness how dull would the world be if that was the case . Yet from the moment we are born we are told how to behave and how best to fit in with those around us .
In early life many of these lessons are important because they enable us to learn and discover the world in a safe and secure manner . In our teenage years we rebel as choice becomes an option . If you look back at yourself as a teenager how does it make you feel ? Did you dye your hair crazy colours and wear the ridiculous fashion trends or were you more intent on fitting in ?
Your life experience will have already determined your personality characteristics . This does not mean they are inflexible . It doesn ’ t matter where you fall on the stereotypical landscape because all personality types have strengths whether you ’ re an extrovert or an introvert . Discover yours and use them .
Stepping out of your comfort zone is always an option however tentatively . Daring to be different means learning to tone up or down elements of your existing personality and can be a game changer in most aspects of your life . Spend time tuning into when you feel your most confident and in harmony with yourself . Daring to be different is having the courage to say no to that pushy person who tries to tell you what you need . They aren ’ t you so why should they decide . Have faith in your gut instincts and give yourself a licence to choose what you really want . Be true to yourself and you will feel amazing !
Our brains are all wired differently and whether you are a blue sky thinker or more logical is irrelevant . Every viewpoint is valid and can help shape the final plan .
Never be scared to share how you see things , we all come from different backgrounds and experiences . These have shaped us into the people that we are . New ideas bring innovation and excitement to the world .
Be Brave ! Be You ! And most importantly Dare to Be Different !
