A bit of self-wisdom that whispered repeatedly in my ears tonight as I listened to the radio. With so much division in the world, I think people can unite more easily by appreciating their differences, rather than trying to change people into something they are not.
The photo above is one I snapped last summer, and didn't really know what I wanted to do with it, until now.
Here is a self-meditation you may choose to utilize within your daily activities. Let me know if it lifted your spirits.
Every person in this world is born uniquely different from every other person.
I am different from them all. I am unlike any other. At first, this makes me feel alone.
Then I remember, this uniqueness is my gift. My treasure. Celebrate this gift. Own it. Embrace it.
Make people want to live by my example, and enjoy knowing that I am one-of-a-kind.
As long as I live according to who I truly am, others will respect me because I am being real.
I am essential. Irreplaceable. Loved. Cherished.
I will share my appreciation for others who are uniquely different, because I also realize their value.
Each individual is part of the greater painting that covers this world. All colors and shapes.
I will notice the details the pieces of the puzzle that interest me the most, and I will bravely magnify them with my own inner radiance.
