I am a bit weird, a bit different, but show me anyone who isn't. Those who are trying to conform and act 'normal' are just as weird as those who aren't. Those that are considered a bit 'eccentric' or 'out there' should be celebrated if they are being their authentic self. As they say 'I am not who I think I am, I am not who you think I am, I am who I think you think I am'.
Translated it means that whatever you think other people think of you determines who you are, your identity in other words and unconsciously you will act accordingly. You will write articles that you think other people will like even though you are not being true to yourself. You will act and say things so as not to stand out or offend others. This will limit your success. People will see through it.
The real key to success in life and in business for that matter is to be your authentic self. For some people it's the hardest thing to do in the world but when you do you will achieve a greater level of success, happiness and fulfillment.
By being yourself, by writing, acting or saying what you think or believe in, you will have already succeeded because you are being true to yourself. Some of the most inspirational and sucessful people in history are those who stay true to themselves no matter what.
People are searching for original ideas, businesses, etc., so expose yourself--and be authentic!
