Shift your weaknesses into Strengths. Think differently!
Imagine you woke up one day and lived in an Upside down world where your perceived “weakness” was actually valued as STRENGTH

This is how I want you to think
For every hardship we endure there has to be a flipside. These are just my thoughts so only apply them if they resonate for you
I AM or HAVE . . .
Dyslexia-Instead of I can’t learn or I’m not smart.
What if this is a gift? It brought you forced CREATIVITY. You had to learn differently than anybody else. It made you learn and think outside the box!
Sensitivity-I’m too sensitive.
Being SENSITIVE is what allows you to tap into your creativity, compassion, and intuition. You’re able to read people, situations, and energy far more accurate and quicker than most people. Your very own “spidey-senses” : )
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)-I can’t focus.
What if you’re not slow but your mind is too smart? You integrate and process large amounts of information quickly but tackle too many subjects or things at once. In other words, you are HIGHLY intelligent but if things or people don’t stimulate you, you might get bored or lose interest quickly.
Your mind might be running on 5th gear all the time so learn to focus and channel that energy into something that you’re really passionate about and lights you up! Harness this beautiful expansive energy.
Depression-I get really sad.
We live in a world of polarity and opposites=CONTRAST. This means if you feel sadness deeply than you are more likely to feel JOY more deeply than others too. It’s like an emotional pendulum.
You might have a greater appreciation for beauty and kind hearted moments because you know what it’s like to feel its’ opposite. Starting a gratitude journal to focus on the good could really be helpful.
Anxiety-I feel so anxious and overwhelmed.
What if this feeling of anxiety wasn’t just an inconvenient emotion all the time but trying to communicate with you?
Physically-Do you feel a heavy or dense energy around someone when you first meet them? Do you get drained after talking to someone? It could be your body telling you this person is no good for you or your nervous system
Artistic/Creative-Could your anxiety for years be a way of demanding to be expressed in some creative fashion? Your body letting you know it wants to be expressed through journaling, creative writing, composing music, painting, acting or performing, entertainment or comedy, etc. . . Honor this if you have been feeling the call for years but politely ignoring it. Do it as a hobby if you like. Start small. Simply start.
Spiritually-Has this anxiety increased your bandwidth of consciousness? Just like a Stronger Wifi signal now. Have any of your spiritual gifts been “upgraded” because of this like heightened intuition or psychic abilities?
As silly as it sounds, Superman had anxiety because of his HEIGHTENED visual and auditory senses that were far more enhanced and sensitive than most people. He had to learn how to harnass his gifts. You very well may have the same abilities like Superman only in this 3 D world we call them Clair Senses. Clairvoyance (clear seeing), Clairaudience (clear hearing), Clairsentience (clear feeling), Claircognizance (clear knowing), Clairalience (clear smelling), Clairgustance (clear tasting), Clairtangency (clear touching), Clairempathy (clear emotion)
Weirdos/Freaks/Misfits-No one understands me. I don’t feel like I belong.
Well first of all, welcome my beautiful kindred spirits, my SOUL tribe!
YOU WERE NOT MEANT TO FIT IN!
You were meant to be the pioneers, the trailblazers, the wayshowers, and the visionaries.
Every great visionary was considered to be crazy or delusional or both before they went on to achieve what they achieved.
Every gifted artist was probably made fun of at one point in their life for their differences.
But it’s exactly this difference that makes them and YOU Unique and stand out in a world full of “normies” (normal people)
Then and Now
Bill Gates, Then nerd, Now billionaire and philanthropist
Lada Gaga-Then freak, Now artistic musical genius
Mixed race children, Then called mutts, Now beautiful and exotic
Ethnic food-Then gross and yuk!, Now I love this delicious ethnic food!
Eddie Murphy-Then class clown, Now a legendary comedian
Simon Cowell-Then mean asshole, Now beloved judge
Jesus-Then blasphemer, Now Spiritual Rebel and icon
I know one of the examples is food and not a person but I can’t tell how many times as kids we make fun of food from other cultures.
Then when we grow up we can’t wait to try those very same foods in restaurants because they taste so delicious and we love them so much now.
We need people who are different and authentic. So be authentically you and discover the hidden gem in any quality you deem as not good.
You may very well inspire other people with those very same qualities!
I have a four year old nephew who is autistic.
Maybe he came here to teach us to be a free spirit and that he will not conform to this world or play by its rules!
THINK DIFFERENTLY!
This is how you make a difference.
