Quotes about Individuality

Be who God created you to be. You are an original. You have something to offer the world that nobody else has.

Be secure enough in who you are that you don't live to please people. As long as you're doing what God has put in your heart, you don't need to look to the left or the right. Stay focused on your goals, and God will get you where you're supposed to be.

After all God doesn't want you to be an imitation of someone else. You should be the original you were created to be. There is an anointing on your life, an empowerment. Not to be somebody else, but to be you. If you let people squeeze you into their molds and you bow down to their pressure to try to please your critics, it not only takes away your uniqueness, but it also lessens the favor on your life.

If you will get free from what everyone else thinks and start being who you were created to be, you will rise to a new level.

People will try to squeeze you into what they're used to, into what they think. Take advice, listen to counsel, but you may have to disappoint a few people to reach your destiny.

Quit comparing your gifts, your looks, your success to someone else. Be you! You are powerful, you are anointed, you are gifted, you are beautiful. Nobody can do you like you can do you.

When you're comfortable with who you are, when you're not trying to impress people, you're not trying to be something that you're not, then your own uniqueness will come out. You'll be more creative. Your talent will come out in greater ways. The right people will show up. Why? Because you've stepped into the anointing on your life. Be you. You are powerful when you're you. Here's a key: Nobody can beat you at being you.

The whole key is to be you, because when you're you, you activate your anointing. There's a favor, a blessing, a grace that is unique to your life.

It's hard to be something that you're not. It's hard to keep everyone happy, wear different masks, and pretend, depending on who you're with. You know what's easy: being you, being real, being vulnerable.

Know that the "Best Possible You" may not be as successful as your neighbor, but that's okay. The best you may not be as thin as your sister, but that's fine. The best you may not be as talented, as dynamic, or as outgoing as your co-worker, but that's all right, too. Be comfortable with the person God made you to be. You can't get distracted and lose your focus by comparing yourself to others. Run your own race.

The good news is, nobody can be a better you than you.

What they say about you does not define who you are. Their opinion of you does not determine your self-worth.
