FIT OUT TO FIT IN Learn how to embrace our unique individuality and find like-minded souls to fit in with.
By Ginger McBride
We know the term fit in all too well. From a very early age, we have been encouraged to fit in with our community, crowd, peers, or colleagues. We are social creatures, and it's only natural to want to find acceptance and belonging amongst those closest to us.
What if we aren't being true to ourselves by fitting in? Sometimes it takes great courage to break out from the mold and be us instead. We must look deep within to know who we are, what we're about, and what we stand for. We can not compromise our values for the sake of acceptance. Dare to fit out. Don't follow the crowd. We have the power to think for ourselves. Just learn to be from moment to moment.
