TGIM: LIVE WITH A BIG HEART & BIG MIND

Humans share a lot of characteristics.  Bones, organs, opposable thumbs, communication skills, and basic emotions. There is more that connects us than distinguishes,  but let's be really clear, everyone does not think or act the same.

In a world of similarities,  there are outliers. Outliers are those who don't necessarily operate in the same capacity as others, for different reasons.  The extremely mentally ill, artistic geniuses,  the super wealthy,  social movement leaders, tech genuises, inventors, and spiritual/mindfulness leaders. These people's lives are a reflection of what's going on in their heads.

With that being said, you may be one who thinks and acts differently than many around you. At times it can be frustrating because you may be misunderstood or even ridiculed.  If you're a big thinker, a dreamer, and a visionary,  others will confront you with doubt. If you are on a serious journey of love and higher thought, people may call you unrealistic.

Embrace it. Yes you can be an unicorn while still accepting others views and behaviors. 

One idea that many people have is that their way is the only way; the right way or the best way. Their way of living, speaking and especially thinking.

I have a friend who acknowledges that  they think outside the box and they think for themselves,  but if you attempt to show an alternative perspective,  they're extremely closed.

The greatest minds know that there is more they don't know. When you ever get to a place in life that you feel you reached the pentacle,  it might be time to surround yourself with different people and a new environment because you don't know what you don't know,  and you definitely don't know that there's a different perspective that will push you.

Embrace who you are but be conscious not to let your ego be bruised by the judgments of others neither let your ego become too inflated to believe there's no other way to think, live or be beyond your own understanding.

BE You~
