Gorgeous Motivational Art from Staples

This gorgeous Motivational Print has Individuality written all over it.

It features one of my all-time favorite motivational quotes by one of my all-time favorite geniuses, Ralph Waldo Emerson:

“Individuality- Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Love that! The beauty of this quote is two-fold, really. One one hand, it encourages everyone to be the one person they can truly pull off: Themself. It lets whoever’s reading it know that it’s okay (even remarkable) to be different and to do your own thing.

Admirable, right?

There’s an irresistible “flip side” to this mindset that most normal people don’t pay attention to. This is where those of us who are abnormal earn our keep:  See, when you embrace individualtiy (and even have an art print hanging in your home or office announcing it), just about anything you do can then be construed as an intentional display of your individuality.

Misspell a word?  Classic case of you thinking outside the box.

Forget a meeting?  You were to busy being you to bother.

Fail to answer a call? Couldn’t hear it over the beating of your drum….

Oversleep and arrive at the office 2 hours after everyone else?  Classic case of nonconformity.

You bungle something beyond repair?  Totally expected.  That’s what you do.  Let the fixer-uppers come in and clean up after you.

Oh, yeah, a print like this could change your life. 

Staples has a huge line of other motivational prints (these things are absolutely gorgeous) covering topics such as Integrity, Initiative, Working Together, Leadership, Risk, Opportunity, Teamwork, Goals, etc.
