Sing your own Song !
Whether aware or not, when you were child, you had your own unique song to sing - yourindividuality. You never bothered whether your song was soft or loud; high or low, fast or slow. But as you grew older the song in you got slenced and you learnt to sing the songs of others. Asa result, you lost your individuality and began to lve a fe influenced by others which made you frustrated and desperate in fe.
Your unique individuality is the most precious possession in your Ife. Know that you will be a person of mediocriiesf you simply use others as a model and follow the crowd. You must learn to break ree from the usual & used mouldy and not allow the negative vibes of anyone to stand on your way of developing, promoting and living your own individuality Whether t's your way of fe or style of functioning, ft difers from the mainstream, then be proud oft, unless it harms others. Be a Character nota type. As the famous song goes, * Life's not worth a damn until you can say, I am what [am *,
Therefore, BE WHO YOU ARE, and SING YOUR OWN SONG 1!
