Think
what a remarkable, unduplicatable,
and
miraculous thing it is to be YOU !
Of
all the people who have come and gone
on
the earth, since the beginning of time,
not
ONE
of them is like YOU!
No
one who has ever lived or is to come has
had
your combination of abilities, talents,
appearance,
friends, acquaintances, burdens,
sorrows
and opportunities.
No
one's hair grows exactly the way yours does.
No
one's finger prints are like yours.
No
one has the same combination of secret
inside
jokes and family expressions that you know.
The
few people who laugh at all the same
things
you do, don't sneeze the way you do.
No
one prays about exactly the same concerns
as
you do. No one is loved by the same
combination
of people that love you - NO ONE!
No
one before, no one to come.
Enjoy
that uniqueness. You do not have to
pretend
in order to seem more like someone else.
You
weren't meant to be like someone else.
You
do not have to lie to conceal the parts
of
you that are not like what you see in anyone else.
You
were meant to be different. Nowhere ever
in
all of history will the same things be going
on
in anyone's mind, soul and spirit as are
going
on in yours right now.
If
you did not exist, there would be a hole in
creation,
a gap in history, something missing
from
the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness.
It
is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!
No
one can reach out to others in the same way
that
you can. No one can speak your words.
No
one can convey your meanings. No one can
comfort
with your kind of comfort. No one can
bring
your kind of understanding to another person.
No
one can be cheerful and lighthearted and
joyous
in your way. No one can smile your smile.
No
one else can bring the whole unique impact of
you
to another human being.
Share
your uniqueness.
Let
it be free to flow out
among
your family and friends and people you
meet
in the rush and clutter of living wherever you are.
That
gift of yourself was given you to enjoy
and
share. Give yourself away!
See
it! Receive it! Let it tickle you!
Let
it inform you and nudge you and inspire you!
