The amazing thing about people is that each of us is one of a kind. How do we own that? It's really about owning the ability to evolve and self improve through what makes us unique that helps us capitalize on what makes us special. We can share a vision, we can have the same end goal, but our WHY that fuels us is going to be different. And the way that we approach our successes and failures gives us an opportunity to problem solve and reach for the next goal.
Continuously Improve yourself
Evolving well isn't about overwhelming yourself with the pursuit of perfection. If you're making small positive changes every day vs. growing by leaps and bounds and burning out, you can own the unique stamp that you put on the world. You can hone in and improve what makes you YOU when you are working on yourself just a little bit every day.
It takes time to experience growth. Mental fitness, developing emotional intelligence, age, and time bring wisdom. Experience is the benefit from making mistakes and rectifying them. Own Unique is a process. It's something we achieve over time. Focus on who you want to be and how you can get there.
There's nobody exactly like you, and nobody has walked in your shoes. Even siblings and twins walk slightly different paths that create a uniqueness we can develop and nurture. It sounds like a cliche to say that you are truly one of a kind, but we can evolve to be the best version of ourselves if we own it.
Be Resourceful and Speak Courageously
Having experienced the things I did as a Cuban immigrant's son has informed my worldview in unique ways. The benefit has been to come together with other leaders and people who empower others, share our differences and diversities, and find opportunities and solutions. The ability to humble ourselves and admit where we have made mistakes that we have learned from, take action, reflect, adjust, celebrate wins, and keep going has contributed to our success and sustainability.
Recognize what you have to bring to the table that is different, and can lend different perspectives and bring about innovations. When we all ask ourselves, "What if…?" and don't shy away from finding the answers, we open ourselves up to opportunities when we speak courageously without being afraid of disagreeing or encountering conflict.
Always Evolving
There are so many things out of our control in this world. The things we do control are our mindset and mentality. It's not about the accomplishments. We always say we Compete to Win at EPM. But it's not about comparing yourself to the next person. It's about how you feel when you look at yourself in the mirror every day. Own Unique means we push ourselves every day, reflect, adjust, evolve, and keep going. Clarify who you are, what you want, how you want to share it with the world, and what you can grow from, and what you want to leave behind as your legacy.
