________________________________
No one is like you.
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 the 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,
opportunities. No ones' hair grows exactly the way yours does.
No one's fingerprints 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 now.
If you did not exist there would be a hole in creation,
a gap in history,
something missing from the plan for human kind.
Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you.
Enjoy
it! Share that uniqueness.
No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can
Noone 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 to you to enjoy but not hoard.
Give yourself away. See the uniqueness around you in each person you meet.
SEE IT. RECEIVE IT. LET IT TICKLE YOU!!
Let it inform you or nudge you or inspire you
or comfort you.
The collection of unique, irreplaceable beings around you now has never
been available before and will not be in quite the same way again.
And so, Dear, special, irreplaceable person -
receive the gift of yourself and others. Notice the gift, enjoy it,
celebrate it and be very very thankful.
