TREASURE YOUR UNIQUENESS

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

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!

YOU ARE UNIQUE!
