Such an appropriate quote, and one which I heard from my colleague, Cath.
Life simply isn't always black and white. And this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Couldn't grey be the kind of place where people can deviate from being normal (a challenge Hannelie laid before me this morning)? Why be normal when you can be unique and be true to yourself? I.e. be who you want to be?
Why be an almond, when you can be an air roasted, natural flavoured, no added oil almond and taste even better?
The point is, we spend so much time trying to conform to what we think others expect us to be, that we have no real identity anymore. And when we try and understand who we are and what our needs are, it's like trying to untangle years and years of conformity. Instead of simply being able to say: " I am..."
So here is the challenge...don't be normal. Don't be anticipated. Don't be predictable. Don't be the usual usual. Be the different. Be the unique. Be the innovative. Be the meaningful. Be the special. Be the true you.
I got this picture today from Corina, and it says very simply, the same thing. Amazing how everything today has all had the same message to me.
