Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will. – Aiden Wilson Tozer

You’ve heard it before, that you were born to stand out.  And it’s true, you were, and I were, we all were.  We were all born to be different and to stand out, but standing out, and being different is scary as HECK!  We spend all our lives trying to fit in and be like everybody else.  It’s so much safer – especially when you’re in school.  Being different there can be a death sentence.  Well I used to think that, because I was different in school and I always struggled to be like everybody else.  But when I was doing that I wasn’t being real, genuine or true to myself, and I think people could sense that.  I see kids today where I work, and they blow my mind away!  They wear what they want, they do what they want to do in regards to clubs, sports and organizations and they hang out with who they want t hang out with.  They don’t care. They are different and they celebrate that.  They are not average, they are AMAZING, and that’s the way we all should be.  We should be the people we want to be and live the lives we want to live.  Don’t get stuck being like everybody else because you are indeed anything but average.  Celebrate the amazing wonderful person you are and let the world see it and celebrate with you.
