Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

This is my 3^rd day in New York and ive gotta say, what an amazing place it is.

I’ve been here before, but it was over 10 years ago remember that time I told you about

When I was at loose ends with my life and I didn’t know what to do

But for some reason or other I just decided to get a flight to New York

Well, being back here just for this very short time has excited me and affected me emotionally.

You see, it brought back many memories from the last time I was here.

And I thought it would

I even purposely visited a few places to see what kinda feeling I would get.

Now, when I was last here I was in place were I felt stuck, kinda lost, didn’t know where I was going in life

You see, I had just turned down a football contract

Got called a failure by my parents

And didn’t know what else to do

You’ve probably felt like this right?

Perhaps you’ve been stuck with your weight?

Maybe, you’re stressed up to your eye balls?

Maybe you just don’t have the courage to leave a job?

Whatever it maybe

I am sure you’ve experienced something like this or other

Well, I am here to tell you one thing that I think can help

It certainly helped me

And it was just being around like minded individuals

Now, going on that course 10 years ago which happened to be in New York helped me realise this

If you were with me in the morning of the first day I had all sort of feelings going on

I was apprehensive and nervous at the same time

Wasn’t quite familiar with the surroundings

Didn’t know what the other attendees would be like

If I’d be judged

If they’d ask me questions that id feel uncomfortable answering

Very similar to when you first go to a gym right

Well, I couldn’t have been more wrong if I tried

Everyone was friendly (Americans do seem to be overly friendly anyway don’t you think)

I came to find that I was surrounded by people just like me

Similar mindset

Similar shift in values and beliefs

They actually made me feel better about myself than I ever have

Have you ever had a person come in to your life and do this?

At RWL we do this to people

Since New York all those many years ago I have only ever catapulted myself to be round likeminded individuals

Just like this weekend

It was tough, every night I felt like I’d been beaten up but all I was doing was re training myself

Challenging myself to be better

Challenging myself to not be normal

You see, I’ll leave you with this great quote by Dr Seuss

“Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”
