Summary
- If you feel like you're different and people tell you something is wrong with you, I want you to know that's okay.
- Being different means you have unique potential and can create your own path in life.
- You don't have to do things just because others say you should, like getting married at a certain age or building a family in a specific way.
- It's important to question where these "shoulds" come from—ask yourself, "According to what?"
- When you accept your differences, you unlock the freedom to make choices that truly fit you, not what others expect.
- Use your uniqueness as a strength instead of a weakness, and don't be afraid to carve out your own journey.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a habit of questioning the rules and expectations people put on you. Anytime you think, “I should do this,” pause and ask yourself, “According to what?” or “According to who?” This simple step takes almost no time, but it can change the way you make decisions. It helps you figure out if you’re following your own path or just doing what everyone else expects.
A good way of doing this is by writing down the things you feel pressured to do—maybe it’s working certain hours, reaching a milestone by a certain age, or living life a certain way. Next to each one, write who says you should do that. This helps you see which beliefs are actually yours and which ones are borrowed from others.
Recognize your differences and see them as a superpower. If you work differently, think differently, or have a different vision of success, use that. Don’t hide it—lean into it. For business owners, this can mean taking a new approach or offering something unique. For personal growth, it means making decisions that fit you, not just checking off boxes set by someone else.
The biggest shift comes when you start accepting yourself fully. This acceptance can be your advantage. It’s free, and it frees you to build a life and business that actually make you happy. Start small—question, write down what’s truly yours, and take pride in what makes you unique. That’s how you open up real freedom and potential, spending almost no money or time.
