You ARE Special

Now, before anyone jumps on this, let me just say that I'm NOT talking about this "everyone is special/everyone always wins" stuff that is abundant in today's culture.

However, I DO want to talk to YOU for just a moment and, hopefully, instill in YOU the knowledge that you ARE special!

Why? Because you are uniquely YOU.

That's right! It may sound over-simplified but, regardless, it is true and I want to remind you of that fact.

Aren't you glad that we are not all alike? Aren't you glad that everyone else is not just like you? Aren't you glad that there is no one else on this whole planet that is just like you?

Thank you for being YOU!

Now, get out there and share this YOU with the world. Don't be so afraid and don't be so down on yourself because you may be "different".

Sure, don't go into your workplace wearing a crazy T-shirt if the dress code is a suit and tie. However, that suit and tie does not have to cover up who you are. You have a unique personality that no one else has. You - being you - have a unique talent (or talents) that sets you apart from everyone else.

Discover that - KNOW that - USE that.

With all of that being said, STOP trying to be someone else, friend.

Got it? GOOD!

And, as you do so, always be sure to...

"Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"

    Great message, we are all unique and special in our own way. We each have some gift to offer the world... and the one goal we should all strive for in life is to find the best way to share that gift with others!

      Vincent, thank you for your kind words. I do love encouraging people and trying to lift them up. Shoot, we all have more than enough negativity surrounding us as it is in the life, right?

      Thanks again!

    In my case, I may think it’s my background and knowledge that makes me special, but it’s more likely because I did something memorable to a stranger. And I always get a million dollar smile when they appreciate your assistance.Nothing beats that.

      That's a pretty cool feeling, isn't it?

      Hey, it doesn't matter WHAT IT IS or WHY you are unique or special, it's just great that you use whatever it is, however you can, whenever and wherever you can that matters!

      Keep sharing you and getting "paid back" with those "million dollar" smiles, friend.

    Thanks for the empowering post mspillman. : )

    Reminds me of a quotation from Jack Canfield's "The Success Principles" (page 40). (By best-selling author Max Lucado ...)

    You weren't an accident. You weren't mass-produced. You aren't an assembly line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on Earth by the Master Craftsman.
