Quote of the Day
“There is no such thing as normal. The more you try to be like others the more you struggle in your journey. You are unique. Dare to be the unique you.” – Kathryn Lang

Moment of HOPE
Dare to Not Be Normal
Normal is over-rated and limits possibility vision.
Dare to be uniquely you because you are the only one that can be you.
Embrace your unique design. Focus on your unique directions. Take on your unique little bits until you have created your BIG DREAMS.
When you are invested in being you then you aren’t easily distracted by the directions they demand you follow.

Challenge for Intentional Actions
Be Bold in Not Normal
You are not normal – I hate to be the one to break it to you but there is no way to be normal because there is no such thing as normal. You are unique in all the world and so you will journey through this world in your unique way.
Today’s challenge is developing a habit of embracing “not normal.”
1. Focus on what you can do.
2. Remember what you have done.
3. Keep doing what is unique to you.
The more you do what you are designed to do the less you will get tangled in the declarations of the world.

Your freedom has been bought and paid for you. You can choose to live in your freedom or you can choose to make yourself a slave to the world.

In what ways do you choose the world over God’s freedom?

74- TheCompass of Unique Design
You are unique.
You are one of a kind.
You are the best you that anyone could ever be.

Knowing you – the unique design of you – makes it easier to understand the how of your place in purpose. It still helps to have a compass and one that is specifically calibrated for your journey. You are not like anyone else so you need to know how you need to go so that you can get there.
- First, you are designed to be different. Your compass will not align with the path of any other person.
Second, time plays a part in your compass directions. The more you experience and the more stuff that has accumulated over time then the more time has an effect on your compass bearings.
Third, what you learn adds up. The more education and knowledge you achieve the more it can begin to direct your compass. Sometimes the adjustments are for the better – but not always. You can be educated beyond understanding.
Fourth, your abilities and talents are designed to supplement your compass direction. They are not there to be the magnetic force demanding the direction.
Finally, outside vision helps inside focus. You can’t read the label from inside the jar – and you can’t see all that you are designed to be from inside the heart. And if you can read the label, it’s backward and doesn’t always make sense.
You have to be stretch outside of yourself to see all of your possibilities. It’s one more of the reasons that you aren’t supposed to go it alone.
