The Infinite Uniqueness of You

Using your unique and even quirky qualities to reveal your Ikigai

As with all my students, I encourage embracing the unique elements of what makes you, 'you.'

We are each born with the ability to do a unique combination of things better than anyone else. The trick is uncovering your combination.

That can be uncomfortable at first. It has taken me years to be okay with many of my perfectly fine weirder traits.

Here's one.

Yes, it is true, I can't always remember the name of a person I was just introduced to while I notice things like this and often photograph them.

I used to think it was weird.

Now I embrace it as cool.

I notice things because I am curious. That curiosity allows me to bring together ideas and combinations others never see.

Ikigai Idea: Living into Ikigai is embracing the unique expression of you, your gifts, passion, skills, and place to impact the world. Even the weird parts.
