How to
be Unique? Be Yourself!

Born This Way video - 7:19
What
would you do? As a child, he
began talking later than normal. In school, he was regarded
as a freak by his classmates because of his lack of interest
in sports. His teachers considered him dull because he was
poor at memorizing by rote. One teacher told him in
exasperation that he wouldn't amount to anything, was
wasting everyone's time, and should drop out of school
immediately. Would you have looked down on him? If so,
you would have snubbed young Albert Einstein.
A pro surfer lost her left arm to a
shark near her home on the Hawaiian island of Kauai in 2003.
This didn't divert her from her passion. Not only was she
able to keep surfing at an elite level, she became the focus
of "Soul Surfer," a feature film showcasing her
inspirational story. Would you have been turned off when
seeing the stub on her left shoulder? You would have
missed getting to know Bethany Hamilton.
Be
yourself. That's right. At last count there were over 7
billion unique people on earth. And, whether you like it or
not, no matter how much you try to fit in, you are one of
them. Similar to a snowflake in that the billions of snow
flakes that fall in every storm, each one remains unique
from ALL of the others. Not one single snow flake has
ever been the same (baring possible genetically engineered
snow flakes) as no single person has ever been the same as
any other person, even identical twins. so,

"Be confused, it's where you
begin to learn new things. Be broken, it's where you begin
to heal. Be frustrated, it's where you start to make more
authentic decisions. Be sad, because if we are brave enough
we can hear our heart's wisdom through it. Be whatever you
are right now. No more hiding. You are worthy, always." ~
