“I found out a long time ago that when you find your spark, you find your joy. When you find your joy, you find your voice. When you find your voice, you find your freedom. Prior to me finding my freedom or my voice, I was, at best, an annoying echo instead of a person with an original voice. I was comparing myself with everyone else, and when you compare yourself, you end up having the disease called comparison inferiority complex. John Mason in the book called ‘An Enemy Called Average’ said, ‘Most people are born originals, but they die copies.’ When I read this quote, I said to myself, ‘You know what? Average does not live here anymore. I’m done.’ That is when I took off the layers and decided to just be my authentic self.”
