You see yourself as very average, ordinary. And there is nothing ordinary about you, Rachel." (Something Borrowed)

Emily Giffin
About This Quote

This quote from Something Borrowed is a great example of how we can be very wrong about ourselves. We often think that we are average and ordinary people, when in reality we're extraordinary. We might not see it for ourselves, but others do. There are only a few that have the courage to tell us the truth about ourselves.

If we listen to that voice of truth then we can find out what's really going on inside our head and what's really going on inside ourselves. Those who stick with this idea will never be the same again.
