Why Your Weirdness Is Wonderful: Embrace Your Quirks and Live Your Strengths

Why Your Weirdness Is Wonderful: Embrace Your Quirks and Live Your Strengths
by Laurie Ellen Wallin

What if who you are right now is exactly who God meant you to be? What if the weirdest, most annoying things about you are actually—for a purpose?

Often we lament about how we relate to God and to the world. We over-think things, worry too much, put things off, argue too much, talk too much, or any number of other griefs. We fight who we are and beg God to make us different.

But what if our greatest strength, biggest gift, and most potential is hidden in the very thing we seek to hide from the rest of the world: our weirdness?

In Why Your Weirdness Is Wonderful, author and certified life coach Laurie Wallin reveals strategies for anyone struggling to find a calling or to find and live their dream. It teaches us to stop fighting ourselves and start following God, not just in spite of, but by embracing our “weirdness”.
