on being an original

Originals live consciously
Originals think for themselves
Originals live their emotions
Originals make their own decisions

Originals are rooted from within
Originals see the world as they live in it
Originals don’t mind liking what others dislike
Originals take self-willedness as a compliment

Originals write their own story
Originals choose their own music
Originals dance their own dance
Originals live their own legend

Are you an original?

Love this post. If you anything but an original then you aren’t living up to your potenitial and are living someone else’s life. If you are not an original how can you expect to love what you do? Do things the way you would do them, say things you would say. Don’t be a recording of someone else’s life and words, be your own you.

My motto is everyday, in every way, be true to yourself and good to others. What better way to live?

I really like what you’re doing with your site and this post. I heard about you from Zen Habits on Twitter. I really like what you said about being rooted from within. I feel more and more I am seeing people consciously move in this direction. I look forward to following you on Twitter.

Like Jacque, I’ve been a true-blue original-ista since the wee toddler years. Is there any other way to live?

You are born an original don’t die a copy.
