Being Different Doesn't Mean Being Inferior

This phrase is something I tell myself. Being "different" from others does not equate to being "inferior" to them. When someone tells you, "You're quite different, aren't you?" take it as a compliment. Understand the ways in which you are different from others and learn to skillfully use those unique traits to your advantage in life. Before you realize it, you might reach a "blue ocean" that others haven't even noticed. (Of course, there are times when it's important to coordinate with others and take the same actions as the majority. Discerning when to do so can be difficult though!)
