Be the most brilliant color in the box

Be the most brilliant color in the box.

Go ahead. Do it.

Don’t wait for permission or acceptance or for someone else to be brilliant first.

Stop telling yourself you’ll never be brilliant with all its synonyms (bright, sparkling, radiant) because you’re not pretty enough, smart enough or talented enough. Telling yourself those things is the opposite of being brilliant.

In other words, it’s just plain dumb.

Our world needs more brilliant colors in its box and you, my friend, are brilliant.

Be brilliant. And own it.

    I love the imagery of this idea. Hmmm, what color am I? I think I’d like to be what I call “tanning bed blue”, although it’s not technically a color, it makes me happy. It’s hard to look away from. It’s intriguing. It’s unique. What color are you, Em?

      Hmmm…I hadn’t thought too much about it but I do so love a bright turquoise, something along the lines of the Caribbean ocean. :)

    I just love this! I can’t totally see you as a Caribbean blue crayon. I think I would be the glitter crayon. ;o)
