You're unique - granted! Isn't that what makes you so great? So you feel the need to just explode with uniqueness - wherever you are - right? It's definitely a way to be you. And it's definitely a way to get some attention.
But what really makes us great? Is it the explosion? Is it the absolute extroversion we display? Or is there more to it? I saw a great video yesterday (see below) that seemed to bring it all out. It's not just about being "out-there" that makes for success. There's also a measure of aesthetic beauty. There's this need to appreciate that what really makes one stand out most - is when one realises that one is a part of a bigger whole. There are so many trees, and so many plants, so many animals - and of course so many people around! But when everybody takes their place, real beauty happens.
Sure, we all want to be the band leader... the star of the show... The conductor! But what about just being you - right there as a part of it all. So someone will be in front, and someone at the back - and there may even be a host of others right in between. But when everybody takes their place neatly and keeps in time with the music - there's some real beauty that shows itself - to ourselves and others.
Focus on what you have and who you are. Focus on the team you're a part of, and how we can all take our roles - and in this way all end up enjoying the music of life. It's about give and take. No need to take from something that doesn't belong to one. Just to take one's own position. That's what being successful with life is all about. Money - or family, friends or just acquaintanceship - if you're looking for the "millions" - be yourself and be a part of the bigger song of life!
