EMBRACE YOUR DIFFERENCE !

When you look in the mirror what do you see? Some people see the imperfections they can't wait to change and some see the beauty they can't wait to flaunt to the world. Every day we struggle with the fight to fit in, we wonder if we are thin enough, if we are curvy enough or if our clothes are nice enough or if the house we live in is socially acceptable for the circle we move in.
We aspire to certain levels of perfection which is unhealthy for us as an individual or as a society, we rob ourselves of the chance to discover how truly unique and awesome we are but instead bury our individuality under series of conditioning just to be ACCEPTED! And I ask myself daily this question, to be accepted by who? Society? Friends? colleagues? Acquaintances Or family? I mean who made the rules? We live in a world that should thrive on diversity but instead we force people into boxes and try to force everyone to look, talk and think the same. We imprison our true selves in cages and shells and live make- believe or other peoples lives. But then, life is about breaking out of your shell, it's breaking the bars that society has placed and discovering your purpose. It's embracing your difference and accepting your uniqueness.
Society hates that which it does not understand, so it creates these status quo which somehow determines the level at which you are accepted forgetting that there's a reason why no two human being no matter how similar are the same. We are meant to strive in diversity not strive to kill the diversity. Do you ever wonder about nature, about how beautiful, peaceful and in tune it is with itself? Imagine the millions of creatures beneath the sea all co-existing despite their diversity.....Embrace your uniqueness, love your difference and accept your individuality then watch the world celebrate you!
Be prepared for obstacles and tribulations, people will naturally try to put you down and oppose you but don't let that kill your spirit instead draw inspiration from people like the famous vetiligo model,Winnie Harlow, the motivational speaker nick vijucic, born with the tetre-amelia syndrome and are constantly defying the rules of society. In the world of fashion, Winnie is constantly paving the way for people with skin discoloration and is one of the seven individuals born with no arms or lower limbs. Nick defies every rule of society and shows that you only truly need to accept yourself to be accepted and now the world celebrates him and many more who have DARED to be different .
No matter your size, shape, colour, height, look, preferences, gender or background you are perfect the way you are. You are a finished work of art. I can't overemphasize this, but only after acceptance can you truly be happy and unleash your full potential.
Love,
