A Role Model

The world has a peculiar way of functioning. It keeps throwing eye rolls, glares, and sometimes even stones at the misfits. 🪨 The oddballs... who stick out like sore thumbs.

Yet, one fine day... it realizes that it’s these very misfits who turn into those who make a difference. Those who dared to live way ahead of their time... relying on an extraordinary power of will and self-imposed values that the rest of the world failed to see.

Such ones—those who don’t let the system change them, yet are wise enough to remain law-abiding citizens... they are the game-changers. 🔥

👉🏼 Every visionary, inventor, reformer... has been a misfit.

As one of my all-time favorite ads—one that Apple ran rather rarely—reminded us, it was those who dared to “think different” who pushed the world forward. The ones who stood out, felt small at times, and still kept going. 🧭

They might have struggled, might even have been dismissed. Despite everything, they’ve left behind some of the greatest legacies that we still live with today.

So, if you ever find yourself a misfit—especially for being or doing something that simply feels right to your heart—pat yourself on the back. Because you dared to “think different” while holding onto a solid strength of character. ❤️ That is something worth protecting, isn’t it?

Now... don’t let the world take that away from you. Ever.

Because somewhere out there, someone may already be looking up to you as a role model.

You just don’t know it yet. ✨

Love,
