As you know I joined a blogging challenge group that now has over 400 participants! We will all be writing about the same subject over a period of a few days and it's going to be great to read all the posts!
Our first topic was to post a quote that inspires you, and that you hope will inspire others for the New Year.
The quote I have chosen is one that's very close to my heart. For the most part I've always been proud of being unique and it's something that I want to instill in my children. We don't all have to be the same. The world would be a very boring place if we were all essentially clones of each other!
We are all different and that should be applauded, not maligned. This New Year, make it a goal to be yourself. To do and be what makes you happy and makes you you, regardless of societal expectations of what you 'should' be. Take a step outside yourself and see the world through different eyes; see that it's not just okay to be unique, it's desirable. Our worldwide uniqueness is what makes the human race special. We as humans can be so terrible to each other, let's make 2014 the year we celebrate our differences and marvel at the gorgeousness of the world when we break off a little from the crowd.

ReplyDeleteIt definitely makes the world more interesting than when you try to be someone else that's for sure.

It is hard to balance the feeling of displeasure in being judged with the desire to be yourself! I try to surround myself with people who love me for me, and are just as weird as I am! (lucky for awesome husbands though, hehe!) :)
DeleteBeautifully written, something I think a lot of people struggle with. We should be celebrated for our differences not put down. Definitely a lesson I will pass on to my children.
ReplyDeleteI followed you on bloglovin and GFC.
Thank you! I'm following you as well. :)
DeleteThanks for sharing this :) We certainly are blessed if we are different for we don't follow the same trail as the rest and we know how to have fun, exploring the outer reaches of the mind.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
We do know how to have fun!! Happy New Year to you too Sally! :)

ReplyDelete"You are a child,
ReplyDeleteOf the universe,
No less than the trees and the stars,
You have a right to be here"
So true Sarah Jane....
If all the people in the world learnt to celebrate their uniqueness, every single one, there would be far less hating and far less fighting....
Much love to you beautiful girl!

Jen I was so close to using Desiderata as my quote for this post. I love it and it speaks volumes to how we should treat ourselves and each other. In the end I decided it was too long, but it will forever remain one of my favourite pieces of writing. xxx
