Most of us struggle with our difference.
-
Your difference is your destiny.
-
Famous Amos and Chips Ahoy. They don’t try to be the other.
-
You have your own recipe success. Quit trying to steal someone else’s recipe for success. Own the recipe that is already within you.
-
There’s already space on the shelf of your destiny for your recipe.
-
Difference is so important. Difference is a way in which people or things are not the same.
-
Destiny is your highest purpose and your calling. Destiny is not just a destination, it’s a process.
-
So often we don’t answer the call on our life because we’re too distracted. What’s your calling trying to tell you?
-
It’s great to talk about difference but difference is painful. It’s hard to stand out.
-
My day job is Hollywood. I am a black man. And a Christian. There are few people of color and even fewer who have been bold about their faith and been successful in Hollywood.
-
Not everyone will embrace your difference but as long as you do, you can live your destiny.
-
Went to an internship interview with Will Smith. Told them I could not work on the Sabbath.
-
Too often we think we have to compromise to find our destiny. You don’t have to make a compromise. You are bigger than you give yourself credit for.
-
We attach opportunity to destiny. In the interview, I was concerned about getting information. Look for information not confirmation.
-
Too many of you have bought into the myths of your industry.
-
I’ve been in Hollywood for 20 years and there has never been a Sabbath that I have had to work.
-
We lose our voice when we just want to get by. At what cost is conformity costing us?
-
It’s time to exert our influence by using your voice.
-
What makes me different? What makes me unique? What gives me a different worldview? Can I be comfortable knowing that I am not using my full potential?
-
Be bold enough to walk that out in life no matter who challenges you.
-
Difference, when we are tired, we make an exchange. We exchange what makes you different for what makes you common.
-
Resist the temptation to exchange.
-
Hollywood is addicted to the sequel. Bloomberg says that the sequels are falling flat. Guardian noted similar problem.
-
Avoid sequel-itis. Take the bold risk of being original. It is scary to own your difference.
-
Don’t be afraid of discomfort. Discomfort is a sign you are on the right path.
-
No discipline, no destiny. There are times that our discipline betrays what we want. “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.” – Muhammed Ali

Difference is powerful.
-
I resigned just after Heaven is for Real. My difference is my destiny and so is yours.
-
It’s time to power up.
-
How to own your difference? Admit I am different. And I’m okay with it.
-
Do not confuse someone else’s distinctiveness with your own. So often we get enamored by a leader who is a mentor. Do not confuse their distinctiveness for your own.
-
Hang with those who encourage your differences.
-
Be salt and light. Be salt, the preservative. If you are salt, if you don’t sprinkle it in your environment, you will be bottled up. Shine light where it’s dark.
-
Destiny is a process. Commit to it!
-
One of the great stories in Hollywood is Cinderella. No one else could fit that slipper but only her. It’s who knows you. She found the right fit and her life was changed forever. Your difference is your destiny. Your difference makes a difference.
-
Go boldly where no other leader has gone before.
