The reason why you’re imperfect and should be happy to be flawed.

The world has pressured us to be perfect.

School teaches us to follow rote and colour inside the lines. Fashion tells us to dress a certain way if you want to fit in.

Most of us walk away with the feeling that we’re flawed in some way since we find it difficult meeting the acceptable norms of the day.

The reality is, however, that no one is flawed.

Rather they are unique.

Different.

Special.

Distinctive.

Visible.

Uncommon... in some way.

Flawed in someone else’s context or frame of reference perhaps, but incredible in others.

Find your frame

Your challenge is to find a frame that allows you to express yourself.

To realize your potential.

To contribute.

To be happy.

To realize your dreams.

Your frame could be your social network. A skill. A competency. A hobby. A business. A belief. A physical challenge. A community. A profession. A neighbourhood. A family.

Channel your emotions and energy away from defending yourself in the wrong frame. Away from feeling bad that you’re not fitting in

Rather, discover a frame that is right for you. One that describes who you are.

Where you can standout.

Where you can make a difference.

Cheers,
Roy
