“Don’t worry about what others think. You do you.”
(Sandra Boynton Fanatics Facebook group)
I can’t resist sharing this Sandra Boynton drawing along with the lyrics to an inspiring song by Swami Kriyananda. They have the same title; other than that, it’s rather a contrast between the silly and the sublime!
Dare to Be Different!
Dare to be different!
Dare to be free!
Dare to roam far
Like wind on the sea.
Fly like a gull:
Soar high on the air.
Be strong in your courage
When others despair.
Never in anger,
Never in haste,
Go without pride,
Be never abased.
Freedom is yours
If freedom you give—
To all give it freely:
In freedom you’ll live!
Mountains that stand up
Tall to the sky
Tell us no dreaming
Is ever too high.
Dare to climb boldly:
Brave that high peak!
You’ll never know failure
If bravely you seek!
Dare to be different!
Dare to be free!
Dare to roam far
Like wind on the sea.
Fly like a gull:
Soar high on the air.
Be strong in your courage
When others despair.
