Who are you today? Who do you want to be? We are so predictable sometimes, reacting as any other being would to a given circumstance. Being typical is typically boring. Your uniqueness will shine when you allow your true creative self to light a path before you.
Taking a step from the norm into the path of true self expression allows you to not only be unpredictable, but to share your true gift with the world.
This week, do something that is uniquely you!

“When trouble arises and things look bad, there’s always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command, but sometimes that individual is crazy!”
Just a lighthearted quote to remind us all that one of two things occurs when someone takes the lead in a crisis. Either the leader is on target and the challenge is on its way to being ameliorated, or the leader is off track and leads others into further chaos.
How can you know which is the case? Instead of blindly responding to someone, even if they are in charge, ask them how they came to the conclusion they did. Oftentimes, you’ll hear something that doesn’t make sense, and your “two cents” may just help.
This week, if you’re facing a challenging situation and someone offers a solution, ask for clarification before responding.

Are you normal?
Ironically, when we are children, everyone wants us to be “normal.” And when we are adults, the last thing we want is to be like everyone else.
It is impossible for anyone to be like another, as we are so uniquely divine and perfect within ourselves. Abnormalities exist only within judgment. When we see all things as perfect, just the way they are, we realize that we are all different, and yet, that is perfectly normal.
This week, remember to relax — you’re already perfect!

If you’re reading this, you are, most likely, a deep thinker who’s not satisfied with just going through the motions in life. You want more out of life: more knowledge, consciousness, peace, and love. And you’re not alone. You may be very surprised to find out that your friends have some of the same thoughts as you.
This week, share something deep and personal about yourself with a friend and see where the conversation goes. Sharing ourselves deeply offers us more of something very important in our lives – intimate relationships – which help us to remember more of who we really are.

Life offers us millions of opportunities to judge. Every time we judge, we lower ourselves to the vibration of conflict. This is very unhealthy and will keep you unhappy.
You can be unreasonably happy by allowing yourself, when faced with an opportunity to judge, to simply let go of that urge and accept whatever is before you…as it is.
Why not try being unreasonably happy this week?
