The Outstanding

To stand out is a conscious decision a person must make for himself. You may go through the whole of life unnoticed not because life made it that way but because you choose it that way. So many people who are living their dreams today knew if they were going to get anywhere they can never let the crowd shield them from the light.

There is a light in you, it was there since the day you were born. This same light is in every person in the world. Some have refuse to harness the energy from this light and radiate, and very few are using it. What is the usefulness of a lamp if it is not shinning for all to see, can it then be called a lamp? I would prefer to call it a furniture. You are a lamp.

Refusing to shine means not fulfilling the purpose which you were sent to the world fulfill. The talents you have are not by chance, there are there for a reason. You are the light of the world, the world is waiting for your light to see. Deciding not to standout is morally wrong.

People who are outstanding in the world today were not born special as you may choose to think, there are people like you. The only difference between those people and you is in positions, they have chosen the front rows  as their preferred seat throughout the ride and you for certain reasons say safety, have chosen the back seats.

What you need in life is not to be like anyone. What you need is the decision to make the front seat your permanent seat. Enjoy the fear of seeing the path before the back sitters do. Stop trying to copy someone else, the secret in shining out lies in following your internal callings no matter how critical you may see the road as.

Decide that you won’t hold yourself back no matter what. Keep going. You are scared but you are still going, you are tired but you still going, people say it’s not meant for you, you still going. That is how to standout.

It is safer to watch from the crowd, than to be watched by the crowd. But it is better to be watched than to watch. So which one is it going to be for you, stay safe and unfulfilled or risk it and be fulfilled?

Step out of the crowd let the world see you. You are too good to be where nobody sees you. The world is facing different crisis today because the right people have decided to hide away and so we are ruled and controlled by people who should be controlled.

The world will shield you from the light if you keep believing you cannot make it without some people. Refuse to depend on anybody but yourself. Everybody have got their light, if you want to shine brighter then you’ve got to reduce the number of people you depend on, that way you will shine more brightly.

That you have tried and that you have stepped out but have not received any recognition. You’ve got to understand that those people who are outstanding today have internalized the behavior of always staying at the front lines that they don’t need to do it once but persistently, you cannot start behaving in an outstanding manner for just a few days now and suddenly you are at the top, you have to persist in that pattern of behavior long enough to standout.

Secondly, every organization have their ways of doing things. If you wish to be at the top rows then you’ve got to understand the culture of that organization and tune in fully. If you want to be at the top row of your church then you know you would have to abandon many life styles that do not align with the Christian doctrine, you will have to change. Change the people around you and change the way you think.

If you want something out of life then you’ve got to step up. Be upgraded in your knowledge, be upgraded in your position, refused to be hidden away and let your light shine for all to see. Standing out and shinning is the path way to fulfilling your destiny, it is scary but that is where you want to be, it is your starting point to a fulfilled life. Be outstanding.
