If You're Different, Be Different - Tyrone Stokes

The truth is, you will never win in life by being someone you are not. You can not… EVER… live the life of your dreams by settling for someone else’s idea of what you should be doing with your life.

You will never… EVER… be happy if you change who you are to fit in with others. Until you accept, and embrace who you are – you are destined to live a life at only a mere fraction of your potential.

It is simply impossible to be genuinely happy, when you are not genuinely yourself. You must be yourself if you want to experience your true purpose in life. 

If you’re different – BE DIFFERENT. Be different and DO IT WITH PRIDE. If someone doesn’t like it… If many people don’t like it… Who cares. Those aren’t the people for you. There is BETTER. The RIGHT people will show up when the REAL YOU comes out.

There will always be someone prettier. There will always be someone smarter, stronger, richer, younger. But there will never be another you. 

Kurt Cobain once said: “I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.” The truth is, you will never be hated by the RIGHT people for being REAL. Being REAL… being yourself is the greatest filter you could ever use. It instantly filters out all the people that don’t belong with you. And at the same time it reveals those who do. 

Bob Marley said: “The problem is people are being hated when they are real and loved when they are fake”… It’s true, but what is missed here is one very important fact… The people that are hating people being real are fake people… And the people that are loving fake people are the same fake people.

REAL recognises REAL. REAL recognises FAKE. So who do you want to attract. FAKE people or REAL people? Be yourself, and I promise you, eventually you will attract the right people.
