So, You're a Weirdo


Listen Later

We're part of a society that constantly pulls us down into the collective no matter how high we want to fly -- only so that we cultivate a more agreeable (or amenable) behavior, mend our "weird" ways, and reduce ourselves to the average of the majority. But as I would ask (and I'm sure you would, too), is it really possible to average out things that we cannot even measure? Do you think we're programmed to be part of a randomly picked "data set"?

That's why in this episode, I get into the importance of being authentically YOU. As the legendary novelist, poet, and literary critic James Joyce once said, "In the particular is contained the universal." YOU matter, and so do your opinions, thoughts, values, and aspirations.

So if you're a "weirdo" or think you don't fit in the lot, then know that it's a gift you and I share in common. Learn to use it to your advantage. Design your world to your taste and be willing to be misunderstood.

A few points to note from the episode:

  • [14:18] You must actively take a role in being unapologetically you.

  • [16:37] Be willing to be misunderstood

  • [19:04] Be true to yourself

  • [19:12] Know your unique gifts AND your weakness to know where you are and how you could get to where you want to be.
