Your Weirdness Is Your Superpower
What happens when a design legend whose work hangs in MoMA tells a room full of nervous creatives that their problem isn't lack of skill-it's lack of opinion? James Victore's blunt directive cuts through years of corporate conditioning: stop trying to fit in, stop chasing perfection, and start trusting the strange, uncomfortable truth of who you actually are. This isn't motivational fluff. It's a practical rebellion against everything that teaches us to sand down our edges and speak in someone else's voice. Think about how many brilliant ideas die in boardrooms because someone was too afraid to sound weird. How many careers unfold in beige offices doing work that pays well but feels hollow? Victore's philosophy offers an escape route-not through quitting your job or moving to Bali, but through reclaiming the voice you've been trained to suppress since childhood. Remember running full throttle as a kid, completely unfiltered and unapologetically yourself? That version of you wasn't wrong-it was just inconvenient for adults who needed you to sit still and color inside the lines. Your authentic voice is that same unedited self, the one who sees the world through a lens shaped by your specific history, fears, loves, and quirks. When parents tell you that you can be anything, they usually mean anything from a narrow menu of respectable options. What they rarely say is: "Figure out who you are and do that on purpose," as Dolly Parton wisely put it. Here's the uncomfortable truth-denying your real nature to become someone else's vision means living what Oscar Wilde called "other people's lives," complete with borrowed thoughts and passions. That inner light you carry, forged from everything you've experienced, begs to be shared. Yet most of us keep it hidden because it feels simultaneously too easy (it's just me, what's special about that?) and too hard (what if people don't like it?). But that division is actually helpful-not everyone will appreciate your voice, and that's precisely how you find your real audience.
