Today's #Index4Index Inspired Motivation is about having the courage and confidence to stand out from the crowd, and to be true to our authentic self. If we want to set our life on fire, that's how we do it!
"Stand out from the crowd, be yourself."
- Stephen Richards
To create and experience what we truly want in our lives, we must summon the courage and confidence to be willing to stand out from the crowd, and perhaps even stand alone for a time. Few actions or practices would have such a profound effect on our lives, though it's not for faint of heart! It's so funny that we, living, embodied forces of nature, are often so afraid to stand out from the herd, and to think, say, and do what actually feels right to us, and what we really want!
We need to throw the concept of 'playing it safe' in the compost heap, where it belongs, for we will never achieve or experience true fulfillment or greatness by staying in our safe comfort zone! If we give in to our fear of standing out from everyone else, then our life is nothing more than a lie, because we didn't have the courage to be true to who we know ourselves to be in our core!
I don't know about you, but that is not an option for me! I've felt different from pretty much everyone all my life, so standing out is nothing new for me, and stand out I do, but now I do so with the courage and confidence that I often lacked in my youth! People can think and say all they want about me, it's none of my business, as they don't know me! I remain true to myself and what I know to be true!
Step outside of the crowd, and find out who you really are as opposed to who you've been told you are you're whole life! If you don't know who you are, how can you know what you really want? I'll be waitin' for ya!
Remember, dear friends, that we are all in this together, that we rise by lifting others, and that together we thrive, so onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thank you so much @ecency team! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
We so readily fall into the trap of trying to align our lives in the order to which others describe us.
It's almost as if we could be falling into the trap of being people pleasers without even knowing it. Until we stand out and sometimes stand alone to find our niche or many niches and be true to ourselves.
The result is an exhilarating and an out of this world feeling of peace and a bit of satisfaction which is worth it💯
Thank you for a lovely piece. Love it💕
Do have a splendid week.
Yes, indeed, exactly! I'm one of those that has many niches! You're so right about the feeling in doing so, it's like nothing else! We feel far more solid in who we are! It's sooooo worth it!
You're so very welcome, absolutely! It's always my deep honor, pleasure, and privilege to share! I'm deeply grateful that you found value in it! Thank you so much! I wish you an exceedingly excellent week as well! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
