Getting in, Even if you don’t belong

I just finished a conference presentation and decided to sit by the pool to do some much needed work.   I was surprised to look up and see  ….

 The ducks decided to join everyone who was in the pool. They didn’t belong and yet they went on any way. 

Isn’t that what gets us noticed?  Isn’t that what makes us stand apart?  When was the last time you went somewhere you “didn’t belong”, just because you wanted to?  Do you wait to be told it’s ok or wait for an invitation?  

Not belonging doesn’t mean we can’t, it’s just an invitation to venture forward against the grain. To stand out.  

Get your feet a little wet…jump in….stand out!  You should be the only one who determines whether you truly belong.
