Stand Out

Have you ever noticed how some people tend to stand out in a crowd? They will walk into a room and everyone just seems to notice, "there's something different about them, I don't know what it is, there's just something." That something is almost always an inner fire that exudes from them to the point where it's contagious. It's contagious because when you stand next to a fire, you feel warmth. If you get close enough to the fire, you'll even catch on fire yourself. The reason everyone notices that person that stands out in a crowd, is because people want that fire too. They want the person on fire to talk to them, to notice them, to warm them, to get that same fire. Most people don't seek out the fire. They stand there, waiting for the fire to come to them. Waiting for the one person that has that fire that they so desperately want, but are too afraid to find out how they got it in the first place. Dare to stand out, to be different, to be yourself. Be that person that stands out in a crowd, be the person that people want to be around. Lift people up. Encourage them. Ignite them. Make them want what you have. It doesn't matter how wet their wood is, your fire will dry them out until they catch on fire too.
