Excellence is Weird

Everyone says they want to be extraordinary, great, excellent and make a difference, but by definition, this means you can’t be average. Yet when we do unusual things, well-meaning people around us pull us back to the normal. They say “That will never work.” “That’s never been done before.” “That’s risky.”

And, the fact is, to make a difference, you can’t do what everyone else is doing. You must break out of that. You must be willing to be weird. This isn’t a matter of becoming weird. You already are weird, deep down. The idea is to take the masks off; take the costumes off; take the normal off. Be yourself. Be weird. Make a difference!
