To make a difference you have to be different. Different doesn’t have to be opposite. It can be subtle, it can be obvious. Kind and positive, smile and greet. Make it a habit to be polite and acknowledge other people. Head up, eyes open and mind in gear, engaging. Be genuine. Be yourself. Be you. The most important person in the world is you. As long as you like yourself, everyone else will like you. To be trusted, trust yourself. In order to help others, you have to help yourself first. The only way you can be kind and gentle to others, is to be treat yourself kind and gentle. Start your days by taking care of yourself. Empower yourself by taking control of yourself. Think and act. No matter what circumstances or external influences, take control of your actions. Prepare and plan through study and hard work. As Bruce Lee said «be water». Water can adapt to any shapes and geometries, but it never loses its’ power or energy. There will always be pressure on the boundaries. As in everything, there is energy to be utilized. Be that. Be energy. Be powerful yet adapt. Never let go of control of you. To do this, you have to know yourself. You have to control yourself. Take control and stay in control. There is no such thing as giving in when you have control. It is an act according to your defined plan. Never give up, never give in. But dare to differ. Be unique, be you. Be the individual. The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it’s conformity. So dare to be different to make a difference.
