Stop trying to fit in when you were born to stand out. [Source]

From the time we were born, we have been taught to blend into the crowd. After a few years, we got so well at blending in that we forgot that we are all individuals too. Being a team player is a good point when we need to work together in order to progress. However, over the years, we don’t know how to be ourselves and stand out from the rest.

Be Yourself

We have forgotten the basic need for ourselves to fulfill our need to feel a sense of accomplishment. By standing out from the crowd, we have achieve something in life that we won’t regret. Let’s take a look at the lyrics in Stand Out from Disney.

Open up your eyes, take a look at me
Get the picture fixed in your memory
I’m driven by the rythm like the beat of a heart
And I won’t stop until I start
To stand out
To stand out

Some people settle for the typical thing
Livin’ all their lives waiting in the wings
It ain’t a question of “if”, just a matter of time
Before I move to the front of the line

Once you’re watching every move that I make
You gotta believe that I got what it takes
To stand out, above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
‘Til mine is the only face you’ll see
Gonna stand out …

‘Til ya notice me

If the sqeeky wheel’s always gettin’ the grease
I’m totally devoted to disturbing the peace
And I’ll do it all again, when I get done
Until I become your number one
No method to the madness, and no means of escape
Gonna break every rule or bend them all outta shape
It ain’t a question of “how”, just a matter of when
You get the message that I’m tryin’ to send
I’m under a spell, I’m in over my head
And you know I’m going all the way to the end
To stand out, above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
‘Til mine is the only face you see
Gonna stand out …
‘Til ya notice me

If I could make you stop and take a look at me
instead of just, walkin’ on
There’s nothin that
I wouldn’t do if it was gettin’ you to notice
I’m alive
All I need is half a chance,
a second thought, a second glance
To prove, I got whatever it takes

It’s a piece of cake

To stand out, above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
‘Til mine is the only face you’ll see
Gonna, stand out, staaaand out

Stand out!
Stand out!

‘Til mine is the only face you’ll see
Gonna stand out

‘Til ya notice me

We do want to be noticed in life so that we won’t feel insignificant. Let’s take a bold step forward and be ourselves again.

Share what would you like to be known for standing out.
