“Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?”
Ian Wallace
Standing out is being a shining light inside the darkness; it is being the sharp axe when all others are blunt, and worn out; it is taking the lead when everyone else seems to have lost their way. Standing out is what is required if we will not be counted among the crowd, if you will not be regarded as just one of the rest. One can only stand out if he is of a unique personality, attitude, skill, when he behaves in a unique way, and does something every other person cannot.
Every man is born to be unique, different in their way, they were born with different talents, attributes, and potentials, but many have decided not to put their talent to use, they have not worked on developing new skills, or even put their skills to use, they have decided to be numbered in the herd. Mandy Hale once said, “So you're a little weird? Work it! A little different? OWN it! Better to be a nerd than one of the herd!” if you have discovered you aren't like the rest, dare to work it, dare to increase the gap, dare to be different.
You are a masterpiece, do not edit your masterpiece to become just an ordinary copy; do not trim yourself to become someone else, when you could have worked yourself into the best version of what you were meant to be. Sebastyne Young describes it very succinctly when she said, “We all want to be extraordinary and we all just want to fit in. Unfortunately, extraordinary people rarely fit in.” and she calls it human tragedies.
The Author of 'purpose drive life', Rick Warren, wrote “Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.” if you are continuously trying to fit into the crowd, to become what you are not meant to become, if all you are doing is to please some people neglecting your own purpose in life you will eventually become useless to yourself, and unwanted by everyone you tried pleasing. So, live your life, become the best you can, and live only for the purpose for which you were born.
