Coco Chanel. We owe her countless style lessons. But, more than that we owe her important life lessons. After all, she was not just an inspiring woman. She was a revolutionary of her time. Actually she dared to make different in a time when being different was quite a sin.

But, thinking about it, isn’t it common to people who make history? Aren’t they different from the others?

We tend to run away from anything that’s different trying so hard to fit in what is told us that is the correct. And, more times than we would like to admit it makes us feel tied in these concepts, hiding from ourselves. Sometimes, trying so hard to fit in just makes us more far of what make us different. And it’s exactly what make us different that may lead us to make the difference. As Oscar Wilde said “be yourself, everyone else is already taken”. Because being ourselves is one of most important keys to success. Quite impressive, isn’t it?

So, every time we feel bad of ourselves just for being different we have to stop and see it in a positive way. Being different is a chance to achieve more and better.

In a world full of imitations being unique is an act of courage. And i want to be courageous enough to be authentic.
