Stand out!!

There are times in this life when there are things that we believe or that we want to do that may be different from what all of our friends are doing, or what the "norm" is.  What what does that matter?  I mean, who really decides what is normal and what is not?  And do we really want to follow what someone else thinks is "normal."  To bow down and agree with what someone else says or thinks is to be untrue to myself.  To go against what is inside me that is not in a agreement.  At some point I have to realize and understand that if I am trying so hard to be accepted by another person, or noticed by someone, or recognized by others, then they can't see the true value in me.  They aren't appreciative of my worth, and nor do they realize the greatness that I am.  I don't need to be where they are.  The bible says that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, so why would I want to change anything of myself to be like another?  Why would I want to act like another person, or talk like them, or follow them.  There is a reason we are all different.  We are supposed to be.  My ideas and viewpoints are different from yours because I was put here for one thing and you were put here for another.  We aren't supposed to always see eye to eye because my eyes are supposed to see the places that your eyes missed.  Not for me to put you down or talk about you, but to help you make your vision more clear and for you to do the same for me.  I am supposed to stand out in a crowd, because no one else in this world is like me!! I am an original masterpiece, beautiful in my own rite!!!  You don't have to accept me-I ACCEPT MYSELF!!!  Love you! Be Blessed!!!
