Those who are not afraid to be themselves know how to cater to their own strengths, and are the most influential towards change.
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Being in a social situation doesn't always allow time to self-reflect and discover what they are. In a country divided, your uniqueness is more important than ever.
Make sure to give yourself some You Time. Literally everyone can discover a process to nurture your uniqueness. It may be activity, it may be inactivity. Meditation, sports, recreation, challenging yourself with projects... whatever it may be, give yourself time to get into that creative space.
Those who are unique. Those who know how to cater to their own strengths are the most influential towards change. They are the ones who can make the world a better place for all.
If you dive into a social construct and sacrifice yourself to a momentary trend, you will become anonymous, ambiguous within the noise. In music, it is the alteration of a pattern, a change in the cadence which gives the song an identity. You yourself are the presence, but it is how you reflect that presence upon the world around you which gives you the ability to stand out and make a difference.
It is not about doing something different to attract attention. Those moments are fleeting. You will soon forget about it and move on. But if you make the time, and build your presence around your individuality, there is something deeper that resonates with those around you.
Your words have more meaning. Your actions have a stronger effect.
