Why be Perfectly Peculiar?

Perfect: entirely without any flaws, defects, or shortcomings. accurate, exact, or correct in every detail.

Peculiar: distinctive in nature or character from others. belonging exclusively to a person, group or thing.

Sometimes in life it just seems to be easier to pretend. Every now and again, we all have moments that we wish werent ours to endure. We will have times that we wish everything in our lives were just...normal. No matter how hard one tries, conforming to whats "normal" is virtually impossible. In an attempt to gain acceptance, people will change every aspect of their lives to please others. Most often times those we try so desperately to impress, add to value to our lives. Somewhere along our life's journey we adapted the concept that in order to have any value, we have to be what others want us to be. Well personally...I think that concept majorly SUCKS!

We are created with a plethora of differences that influence every aspect of our lives. They undoubtingly make us who we are. These differences range from the unwelcomed and distasteful to the amazing and extraordinary. Our thought processing and daily interactions are constantly affected by these variances. Yet, we never take the time to embrace and appreciate the very things that contribute to the blueprint of our lives.

Have you ever stopped to wonder...what has made me different? Have you ever considered what your life would be like if you NEVER endured what challenges and victories have come your way? Would you still be who you are, if you kept pretending to be someone else? Have you ever thought that your peculiarities are what makes you perfect?

You owe it to yourself to embrace everything that makes you different and use it as a catalyst to your future. You deserve to be able to accept your flaws and appreciate the lessons they teach you. It is time to accept that the things that others may call peculiar is what makes you perfect.

Being "Perfectly Peculiar" is a journey that allows for growth, maturity, and acceptance of all that separates from the next individual. "Perfectly Peculiar" is a time of celebration of those things should have lead to our demise, but have become songs of victory and triumphant.

You were created with the ability to endure all that you will ever encounter. Rejoice in those things that have made you, Perfectly Peculiar!

Blessings,
Karen
