Ever hung out on the sidelines because it’s more comfortable?
Stand out in the crowd.
Because then you don’t need to take a stand, express a point of view, upset the status quo, be put in the spotlight, be questioned by the ‘tribe’.
What’s the downside of being comfortable?
Well, lemmings don’t get to see much more than an ass in front of them. Fence sitters eventually get numb (or sore) bums. And wallflowers don’t get to jive on the dance floor of life.
Yes, I may be taking it to the extreme :) But standing out in the crowd doesn’t have to involve big, dramatic, or sweeping change.
Just do one small thing… even if it’s uncomfortable.
- Wear something bright to work
- Put your hand up in that meeting
- Say hi to people you meet in the street
- Smile, even if you feel afraid
And then keep doing it. You’ll see that you have nothing to lose. And your small actions will take on their own momentum.
See, these little things count just as much as the big things.
What’s your small move to stand out in your crowd?
If you’re not sure, start with two small things:
- Spread the love – share my doodles with anyone you think might need a nudge off the fence.
- Start the week with an inspiring doodle in your inbox: Sign Up Here
Thanks and have a great week
Cheers, Michelle :)
