Think what a remarkable and miraculous thing it is to be you. Of all 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 will live has had your combination of abilities, talents, appearance, friends, 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. No one prays about the same concerns as you. No one is loved by the same combination of people that love you. No one before, no one to come. You are absolutely unique. Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to try to be like someone else. You
weren’t meant to be someone else. You were meant to be different. 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. 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 and comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person. No one can smile your smile. 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 to you to enjoy and share. Let your uniqueness inspire you.
