YOU ARE UNIQUE

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!
