So Be You
So Be You
Well the truth is most people invest a lot of time trying to blend in with everybody else.
You try to blend in with your corporate culture. You try to blend in with other salespeople in your industry.
You try to blend in with your neighbors and friends. You get the picture!
I've been there and done that myself.
Let me give you an example.
I have a Brooklyn accent - can't help it. When I moved to Chicago, people couldn't resist commenting about my accent.
So for a couple of years I tried to hide it - choosing my words carefully. Lo and behold after a while people would say, "I detect a slight accent, but I can't pinpoint it." I thought that was wonderful until I realized it wasn't the real me.
I was pretending.
From that point on I no longer tried to hide my Brooklyn accent.
I no longer tried to blend in because I wanted to stand out.
The new year is rapidly approaching. It's also a chance for a new beginning.
You can blend in or you can stand out.
You can be the real thing.
You can be authentic in everything you do.
By your very nature you are different from everyone else on the planet.
Being different is the first step to being better.
Why try to be like someone else when you can be - you!
So be you!
