Be the Outlier

Hey there. I know what it feels like to want something deeply and still not go after it. To tell yourself that you’ll start when things calm down. When you have more time. When you feel more confident. When the timing is right. The truth is, the timing will never be perfect. And you don’t need perfect. You just need to start.

You can absolutely rationalize yourself into a life you don’t want. You can convince yourself that chasing your goal isn’t responsible or realistic. But right now, someone out there with the same dream you have is taking action. They’re scared. They feel like an imposter. But they’re doing it anyway. And every day they keep showing up, they get a little closer to becoming that version of themselves. The version you’ve been picturing for yourself too.

Being an outlier doesn’t mean you’re fearless. It means you’re willing to take action even when you’re unsure. It means deciding that your life is worth the effort and the risk. It means refusing to let the opinions of others keep you from living how you want to live.

People are going to have thoughts about what you’re doing. Some will support you. Many won’t. And some might even criticize you because your actions remind them of what they’re not doing. Let them talk. Their opinions aren’t your business. What matters is your follow through. And follow through isn’t about perfection. It’s about persistence.

You’re going to mess up. You’re going to stop. You’re going to question everything. But that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. You’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to restart. You’re not behind. You’re right on time for your journey.

Most people live on the sidelines. They let fear and logic rob them of the life they actually want. But you don’t have to. You’ve got dreams for a reason. They were given to you for a reason. You can choose to act. You can be the outlier. You can be the one who starts.
