The weird ones out there

I today read another story of a boy who was bullied and was dyslexic and had made it at a young age as an entrepreneur. And more often there are stories that "the weird ones out there" get success in certain fields. Richard Branson was also considered in some way a "weird one". Not saying, I already made it in life, I still have a long way to go. But also my demons, like my shyness, and other weird aspects of my character, my way of living and doing things and myself, have made that I reached certain milestones and goals in my life and am closer to reaching more. And sometimes failed also gloriously, but that is life and learning. I have never been popular, or the most beautiful, until today by quite some people considered as a "weird one" for certain things . And because of that strange weirdness, some people who have got me further in life, came to me and said: "you have something" and they could not name it, but I always assumed it was said in a positive way hahaha. Someone who is always (happily) working, but is getting (closer to) where she likes to be. So when as young kid never really embracing my that "weirdness". I learnt and am learning through the years what my "weirdness" can do for me. And it makes me smile when I read the success stories of people who were considered weird and have found how their weirdness works for them .

The purpose of a religion...

So if religion can create so many problems.. What is the purpose of a religion? To make everyone the same, your religion? To kill people? I believe people forget what a ( I don't like the word "religion") way of living really means and what beauty and peace it can bring.

For me it is finding myself and getting to know who I really am, discover what life is and what life means and seeing that also in others. In short, a summary and lot more to say about it.

And a lot of people in this world are blind, actually blind for themselves, they stuffed their heart and brains with so much dirt, they can't clearly see what their real goal in life should be.

A way of living is about using your heart and brains and most of the time, cleaning your heart and brains. It is about compassion and learning and creating happiness. (for me at least)

So what are a lot of people in the world doing these days? I observe exactly the opposite.
