Unique U

In all the world, there is no one quite like you.

As a matter of fact, there is not a single person that is even close to being who you are.

Everything you do and think is uniquely authentic.

And because of that, there will always be people who don’t understand you, what you mean, where you come from or have any idea why you do the things you do. They can never understand you because they aren’t you.

On the flip side of that, you will also be somewhat befuddled as to why you do the things you do. Because even though you know yourself, it would probably take a thousand lifetimes in order for you to figure yourself out – and the why of it all.

But never fear! There is strength in your uniqueness.

Your hopes, dreams, fears, fantasies, behaviors, abilities and the effort you put forth are the things that make you who you are. And they open the doors in your life that lead you to the place where you are what you want to be (when you grow up!).

And the best thing about all of that is that you have the ability to change it anytime you are not satisfied with who you are today.

I know so many people that are stuck. They’re stuck in dead-end jobs, dead-end relationships, dead-end lives. They feel as if they don’t have any hope because life has passed them by due to decisions they have already made.

But no one is ever stuck. No matter how old you are or how much life has already passed.

We may never know ourselves entirely but it is quite a gift from God that we never have to stop trying.

Our search for life and love are strengthened daily through our ability to know ourselves.

So if you feel trapped by your circumstances today, I ask you to not believe in that anymore. I ask that you believe in yourself and figure out the first step you need to take, but more than that, you need to have the courage to take that step.

I think we all wait for the perfect moment to make changes in our lives. But if you notice, those perfect moments don’t happen very often if ever.

So take the time today to realize that you are the most important person in your life and to do whatever it is you need to do in order to celebrate that.

And remember, ice cream always helps!

Peace.

I prefer Moose Tracks these days!

I find that I have painted myself into a corner, that time and a good attitude helps. I might throw a little pity party (ice cream) but continuing with your life and the everyday things helps to sort out the problems.

Good & thoughtful post.
