Being different

"If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't want to sing at all." - BH

This has been my favourite quote for the longest time. But who are we standing out for? What's the goal? What's the point?

In a world where everything is measured by comparison, and with social media amplifying that, it is very natural to want to be someone else or to not like who you are. There is always a reference point everyone uses to look at things.

But the best reference you could ever have is yourself. Are you doing better than yesterday? Did you make mistakes? Did you learn from them?

Can you proudly say, "I am doing better than before, personally, professionally, and emotionally?" If the answer is yes, you truly are standing out. If not, then you need to do the work.

Nobody is coming to save you. The best the world can provide is a little bit of inspiration, but you are responsible for doing the groundwork to save yourself and be better.
