Vanilla is great for ice cream… but not so great as a way of life or a personality trait.

But too many times we choose to act “vanilla” in an effort to have people like us, keep the peace, not rock the boat, make someone happy.

When you act vanilla, or play small, hide your voice, thoughts, opinions, way of being you are not serving anyone…. especially YOURSELF.

Vanilla is common… but not memorable

This lesson is an awakening that people pleasing (being vanilla) is a losing cause.

When have you been vanilla? What scenario are less than or blend in? What can you change to be YOUR flavor? What flavor are YOU?
