I hate to quote a book that I have not read yet, but I just have to share something today. Here is the quote:

We are not here to fit in, be well balanced, or provide exempla for others. We are here to be eccentric, different, perhaps strange, perhaps merely to add our small piece, our little clunky, chunky selves, to the great mosaic of being. As the gods intended, we are here to become more and more ourselves.

James Hollis, What Matters Most: Living A More Considered Life.

I was listening to Dare to Lead by Brene Brown on my morning walk today when she read this quote and I immediately stopped walking and googled the quote so I could take a picture and save it. Then I added Hollis’ book to my Want To Read list on Goodreads.

I add more books to my Want To Read list than I can ever read. But damn, I have to read something by James Hollis immediately if not sooner. The word “eccentric” is really resonating with me today!
