What does the word weird mean?
To many people, it is an insult. A word used to belittle, put down and degrade someone. The word is usually used towards someone different, not the norm. This same word is also defined in Scottish as a person of destiny. I believe being a person of destiny is not a bad thing.
When I think of the word weird, I think of the acronym W.E.I.R.D which stands for:
Wonderful, Exciting, Interesting, Real, Different.
The problem is not many people want to be different, stand out, or be a leader because it is easier to follow. We crave to fit in, to belong, to be the same, But I am here to say nothing is wrong with being different; nothing is wrong with being your own person. To get ahead in life, you don't do what everyone else is doing.
The most successful people in life were probably called weird and insulted because they were different. Let's change the way we use the word. Let's change being afraid of being different.
Think of the greatest inventions ever made, like the wheel, the telephone, and other great inventions. The inventions were made by people I believe were different.
The invention of the wheel, for example, we use wheels for cars, airplanes, buses, trains, and wheelchairs, but while people were walking, someone was different and made chariots instead of walking.
Think of the person who thought of bottled water, water is free, and it is weird for a person to sell water.
What about food, the food we eat and love comes from recipes that, before they were made, we would have thought were weird. For example, potato salad, I believe that recipe was not widely received.
My point is being different is not a bad thing. People are called weird because they are different. But we are all different; God didn't make us all the same. We have different backgrounds, skin tones, hair types, hair colors, different heights, and weights. We talk differently and have different personalities, We all are different, and our differences make us unique.
So don't be afraid of being different, don't be afraid of being a person of destiny. God has a purpose and a plan for you, something only you can do. What makes you different, what makes you unique, is what God will use to bless you and bless others. You don't know what is in your future; what you think is a flaw could be your blessing. Be unique and be proud of it.
May I pray for you?
