Creativity Cheat Code: What Makes You Different is Your Superpower

As you are developing your own voice as a writer or creator, don’t become overly distracted by what other people are doing.

It’s fine to take inspiration from others. But remember that everyone is on a different path. What works for someone else might not work for you.

Instead of chasing or copying others, lean into your own natural style and personality. Ask yourself: What makes me different or unique? Your quirks are not flaws. Your quirks are what make you lovable.

Whether in business or art, the best style is to amplify your own authenticity. You can be yourself better than you can be anyone else.

Think of yourself as your greatest work of art—one that is always changing and evolving. Step out from the shadows. Let yourself be seen and heard. You don’t have to be cool, popular, or beautiful. Just as there are endless styles of captivating art, there are endless styles of captivating people. Turn up the volume on whatever comes naturally. Own your niche.
