Fearlessly Individual


As promised, while having some quiet time yesterday I thought about the whole idea and concept of being fearlessly individual. And let me say this, from the outset, the breadth and depth of the human experience is far too involved for me to speak on the matter in one or two postings. But I want to at least give some coverage of the matter.

Fearlessly individual is about owning your own life experiences. Hypothetically speaking, do you like being you? I know that we all have adversity and challenges but intermixed with all of that is something special, and people who are fearlessly individual can create and envision great things out of their life experiences. The movie Catch Me if You Can comes to mind. Why? In this story the actor was everyone else but himself. How fulfilling could that be? But when you can be the main character in your own life, it can be the most enjoyable experience there is.

Now let me clarify lest someone misinterprets*. Other people inspire us, share with us, allow us to celebrate their life and give us ideas for our own life. And that's precisely the point. You don't have to take someone else's life or become someone else; you can be inspired by people to be the best you can be. That's being fearlessly individual. And combine that with others who do the same and you have something awesome!

 Yesterday I was watching an interview on On Demand. It was great. Because the interview was so real, it made me contemplate my own life. This happened several times over and over. That something worth sharing, is what set leaders and successful people apart. They leave you with a light bulb moment something that may reinforce what you were feeling or something altogether new. Whatever it is, it makes a lasting impression that will probably stay with you a long time.

For me, it was the thought, that however important you are, or the thing you do, love and the quality of life you have in your success is the anchor that really makes any success enjoyable. And I would venture to say, that is the case for everyone.

Note: In life we will have all types of experiences some good some bad. But at the end of the day, through, learning, redemption, faith etc... we learn to create hopefully something wonderful- a life we enjoy.

Just thinking

Love is the thing that makes you smile, knows when you need a hug, supports you when you need uplifting, is a calming force, an ally when needed, but more importantly a hand to hold in times good, bad, and otherwise. Love is not be feared. But we should fear never giving ourselves and truly loving.
