The Weird & Holy Art of Being Unapologetically, Radiantly You

Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught to shrink. To soften our edges. To blend in. To avoid raising eyebrows or stirring questions.

And yet—every truly alive soul you’ve ever admired has done the opposite.
They lived with such unmistakable passion, such unmistakable joy, that the world couldn’t quite tell whether they were crazy or brilliant… so it settled for calling them both.
And that’s the point. The entire point.
Life was never meant to be survived. It was meant to be expressed.

Your Weird Is Holy
At Soul Journey, we hold this truth gently but firmly: There is something God placed inside you that looks nothing like anyone else.
Not your passions. Not your gifts. Not your strange little quirks. Not the way your spirit lights up around certain colors, ideas, textures, stories, or places.
For years you may have tried to tame that inner fire, hoping it would make life easier or make you more “normal.”
But here’s the secret: Your weirdness is not a weakness—it’s a compass.
It points you back to what your soul remembers. Back to the joy God handcrafted into your being. Back to the spark that makes you unmistakably you.

Passion Is a Spiritual Force
When you are wildly passionate—when you let yourself love something so fiercely you nearly vibrate—it does something powerful:
It wakes up the people around you.
Your joy becomes a tuning fork for theirs. Your aliveness gives others permission to breathe deeper. Your “weird” becomes the medicine someone else didn’t know they needed.
This isn’t selfish. It’s sacred service.
Passion is contagious. Joy is catalytic. Authenticity is healing.

Why People Can’t Tell If You’re Crazy or a Genius
Because true joy always looks like rebellion.
It breaks the unspoken rules. It refuses to shrink to fit someone else’s comfort zone. It dances barefoot when everyone else is standing still. It sings louder than the room says it should. It loves without apology. It celebrates without permission.
To some, this is madness.
To others, it’s brilliance.
To your soul, it’s simply truth.

This Is Your Permission Slip
From this day forward:
Be too excited. Be too curious. Be too creative. Be too joyful. Be too deeply, undeniably YOU.
Wear the clothes that feel like your spirit. Study the things that make no sense to anyone else. Pray in the ways that feel real to you. Laugh too loudly. Speak from the heart even when your voice shakes. Embrace the ideas that make your inner child come alive. Follow the paths that feel like home even if no one understands them.
Let people wonder. Let them question. Let them tilt their heads and whisper about what you’re doing.
Because the ones who whisper today will ask for your guidance tomorrow.

The World Doesn’t Need More Normal
It needs people who are willing to be fully awake. Fully expressed. Fully aligned. Fully weird in the most holy, joyful way.
The world needs your genius—Your divine absurdity—Your contagious passion—Your unmistakable fingerprint on life.
And your soul is already ready. It’s been waiting for this conversation.

So Step Into It
Step into your light. Your weird. Your fire. Your God-given passion.
Let the world wonder whether you’re crazy or a genius.

Because the truth—the deep, quiet, luminous truth—is that you’re both.
And that is exactly what makes you unstoppable.
