#481: Bizarro You (Friday, March 18)

Remember the episode of Seinfeld where Elaine started hanging out with her Bizarro friends - three guys who were polar opposites of Jerry, Bizarro George and Bizarro Kramer? It's one of my favorite episodes.

Sometimes fear can create the Bizarro you. I've met people who don't drink because their parents were alcoholics and even go the extra mile to make sure you don't drink either; people who obsess about being thin - sometimes unhealthily so - because obesity runs in their family; and people who are so afraid of becoming something they perceive as undesirable, that they stray so far in the opposite direction.

Don't allow fear to create the Bizarro you.
