One of best things about Power Players is they don’t fall into the trap of believing there’s such a thing as normal. What’s normal? Who’s normal? And what’s so righteous about being normal anyway?
Normal is no prize and a person can spend years worrying about why they’re not normal and what they can do to become more normal: all the while losing sight of the very character traits that make them special.
Added to this is that normal can also be unimaginative, boringly predictable and completely and totally overrated.
Take a lead from your Power Playing brethren. Don’t get caught up in doing what’s normal if it doesn’t feel right for you. And by the way, are all those normal people happier than us irregular types? There no evidence to suggest this and Power Players know this by heart.
Relax. You’re as normal (or as abnormal) as everybody else.
