‘You are most powerful when living your own truth’

Over and over we see the latest trends being born and grow out of control, seemingly overnight.

Someone had an idea that was new and different. Something no-one thought of before. They did it proudly…put it out there because they wanted to see it in the world. They took a chance and stood out from the crowd.

So what happens? Suddenly other people start doing the same thing in their town. At first glance onlookers might have thought ‘What the hell would you want to do that for?’ But before long they are doing it too. All because one person thought ‘I want to do this because I believe it is good.’

Now before you get me wrong, this can go both ways; I’m not talking about designer drugs or terrorism.

I’m talking about the Wright brothers dream of flying, Roger Callaghan’s Meridian Tapping Technique, John Flynn and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, A J Hackett and Bungee Jumping, hell, even the person who put flares and hipsters together and made a new style of jeans for the 2000’s.

The point is they weren’t afraid to put forth their ideas. It’s not easy to put your beliefs out there though. Someone once said: ‘All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident’. So true. Once accepted, it’s powerful, like it has always been.

Why is this important?

That’s where learning comes from. If we were all the same, all had the same ideas, beliefs and desires, how would we progress? In some ways, many people wish things would never change at all. We feel safe in our comfort zones. Even if it’s not so good there, we feel safe because even bad is predictable. But that doesn’t make it healthy and it doesn’t help us grow – mentally or emotionally – if life is predictable.

So what is it you have to offer the world? What are the things you dream to do that will change the lives of others? Are you sitting on those ideas because people will laugh? Be angry? Or try to shut you down? Are you scared of failure? Or are you actually scared of your own success?

Step into your own power and give your individuality a run. When you dare to start letting your ideas flood out you create yet more ideas for yourself and others to grow on. Give your difference free rain and stand in your own power; You owe it to yourself.
