Do You Think That Your Differences Make You More Special?
Most of the time, we are afraid to be different because we can’t afford to be judged by others. However, Happy Feet inspires us to embrace ourselves—no matter how different we are.
Mumble may not be like the other penguins in his colony, but that didn’t make him change or hide his abilities. Instead, he accepted that he couldn’t sing and just used it as a motivation to cultivate his talent for dancing. So, in the end, his true self shined, and he proved that he was amazing in his own way.
So, like Mumble, whenever you feel alienated by society, remember that your difference is something to treasure. Don’t be discouraged! You simply need to put more faith in yourself.
We live in a world where judgment is normalized, so you’ll inevitably encounter people who look down on you. Others may even think you have no value if you can’t accomplish the same things they did. However, keep in mind that it’s okay if people refuse to accept you for who you are; the only thing that matters is that you never reject yourself.
Hopefully, this collection was able to help you uphold your value as an individual. After all, self-worth is the best gift you can give to yourself!
