Or maybe you’re okay with social media, but your neighbors have you drowning in what you feel like you must do.

Keeping your focus on how others do things and how they are showing up in their lives is one of the greatest distractions to derailing your own goals and dreams.

Who wants to be different?

Getting caught up in being different is not something that warms your heart. You don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb. Blending in is so much easier and more accepting.

But what if I told you that you are made for more? That you are wonderfully and fearfully made to not stick out, but to stand out.

Hiding does not need to be in your vocabulary.

Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!

The K.I.S.S. ~ Be YOU!!!

Stop being a copy! You might think someone has it just like you need it, but give yourself some credit (and God, too). He didn’t make you as a copy. He created you as a one-of-a-kind.

So be YOU!!!

1. Embrace your imperfections and quirks. No one is perfect. So instead of bothering yourself to be like everyone else, embrace your imperfections and quirks. Flaws should not scare or scar you. It’s fantastic to be YOU!
2. Search deeper, not wider. Some of what entices you from others can be found deeper within specifically geared for you. It’s not about being someone else’s or conforming to their ways. It’s simply accepting where you are and being willing to go deeper within.
3. Engage in the cut and change. After you go a little deeper and have a hard look at where you are and who you are becoming, then you can stop the copy and crop, and engage in the cut and change. This is where transformation happens.

QUESTION: Whose worth are you copying?

• Your sister
• Your best friend
• Your boss
• A mentor from afar (You are riding side-saddle.)
• Someone you admire

You don’t want to ride on their coattails. You need to be YOU!!! Yes, you can learn from everyone above and take notes and follow their success (and failures) ques.

But what they can’t do is be YOU!!!

And that’s the difference-maker.

We talk about what we can do and how we need to make changes. But rarely do we get a glimpse as to the importance of being you.

Today is the beginning of a new reflection. See what God sees and live out His blueprint for you.

No more copies. Only an original!

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
