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.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE!
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,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,nudge you,
and inspire you!
