Becoming Who You're Meant To Be - October 15

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit in, perhaps you’re an ugly duckling — a young swan that believes it’s a duckling. You were never meant to fit in because you were always meant to grow into something different. In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz watches a family of cygnets in the midst of their transformation into swans. Their gradual change reminds her that transition takes time — and that becoming who we truly are is a journey never to be rushed.

Thanks Liz 🙏🏼
This is a lovely reminder of being ourselves . I struggled with this for years and ended up thinking there must be something wrong with me because I don’t fit in. Not ‘normal’ . A few decades ago I heard someone say ‘normal is a cycle on a washing machine ‘ and I would reflect on that when I felt like an oddity.
Now as I get older I like my own uniqueness and am mostly glad I don’t fit a mould of being like everyone else to be accepted.
There is a lot of pressure on us to fit a mould and when I was in Dublin I met this fella sitting on a seat outside a pub. He can sit still for the longest time and said many worthwhile words, his greatest that I think about a lot now is , “Be yourself, everyone else is taken. “
Back in Sydney now ..

Hmmmm…I am going to reflect on this too! Thanks Liz!

Definitely relate to this, I only half jokingly say I don’t know what I want to do for a living, when talking to people. At age 60 🤪
