You Are An Original

Your originality is your super power.
Let it show.
Invite it to shine forth.

Your uniqueness is your greatest gift.
Nourish it!
Develop it.

Discover the *phyla* of plant that you are…
Cultivate it.

Tap in to the genre of flower you are.
Lovingly nurture and ALLOW that very flower into full bloom.

Express your one-of-a-kind soul signature.

Garden into being your singular essence.
Weed, water, and till the soil of it.
Beam warming, healing, revivifying rays of sunlight upon it.

For there is only one you.

You could say, “let your freak flag fly.”
Or you could say, “embrace your weirdness.”

But you are not weird…
You are YOU.

What’s weird is how vigorously this world coaxes us to be cookie cutter versions of one another.

What’s strange are the stringent, uniform standards.
The shoulds, oughts, and musts.
The stipulations, mandates, and requirements.

What’s bizarre is the narrow box we’re expected to contort ourselves to fit into.

What’s distorted is that we even think to TRY to fit the square peg that is us, into a round hole.

Eccentricity is a sure sign of giftedness.

To honor our eccentricity is to honor the gift.
To RECEIVE the gift that we are.

For we are a most precious gift…
Walking, talking, living, breathing.

Every one of us is literally God’s gift to the world.

And so…
Be you.
Fully, freely, authentically.

Not gratuitously…
Not overdoing the “letting it all hang out.”

Just operating from a humble and nonchalant centeredness in who you truly are.

Rooted unwaveringly in the bulls eye of the self.
Residing nonchalantly and effortlessly in the zero point of the self.

Brazenly embodying the truest truth of the self.

Let go of the normal-ness.

Abandon that palpable cleaving toward normativity that you’re scarcely even aware of… because that’s what’s become normal.

Never be ashamed of how strange you are.

Claim your strangeness so that you can instead be normal to yourself.

Invert the paradigm…
So that instead of being a strange-r to yourself in order to fit in… you’re willing to be a strange-r to others.

Be true to *yourself*.
To your conscious, awake, and aware self.

Fashion yourself as your very own “new norm.”

Love + Oneness,
Naomi
