Ditching fitting in

Posted on by philipdodson

Fitting in is something we feel we need to do, so much so, that even when there is no one there, we still behave in a way that would be seen to be normal.

We are afraid of being different and that fear prevents us from being our true selves. We suffer within from that fear of not fitting in, of being judged for being different and at the same time we suffer from not being who we truly are.

Perhaps it’s better to lose all the suffering…just be ourselves no matter what. Ditch fitting in and just be.

Here’s to the true spirited

The people who are different, the ones that go the opposite way to the crowds, the heretics, the ones brave enough to be vulnerable and speak their truth from their soul without fear of others are nearly always dismissed and in some cases persecuted and in extremes killed by the ‘mob’.

However, it is better to be brave enough to be vulnerable, to be lambasted ,to walk in the wilderness on a lonely path, and even to be hated by all, rather than to live a life fearing others judgement and suffering not being our true selves. People fear the egotistical calamity of actually having to admit their shame and being wrong, so they override their true essence to save face.

Here’s to the rebel, the heretics, the crazy ones, the brave and true spirited. Keep being true to yourself.
