Summary: In this quick and fun episode, Shirley shares a surprising moment from her day that brought a little dose of joy. She dives into how this unexpected sight led to some deeper thoughts: What if we all embraced being different and brought a little joy into places we don’t quite fit? Why not be the unexpected in a world full of conformity?
Key Points:
- Shirley’s unexpected source of joy.
- The metaphor: Why can’t we be the "tomato plants" in our lives, bringing something real and different where it’s not expected?
- Letting go of fitting in and embracing our unique selves.
- How we can change the overwhelming structures of the world by bringing in small elements of our nature and humanity
Takeaway: Today, give yourself permission to bring something unexpected and joyful into the world just by being your unique self.
