You Are Unique

Be yourself – everyone else is taken.

The first step in being a Sufi

is the breaking of the ink well,

the tearing up of books,

and the forgetting of all kinds of

knowledge.

Abu Saeed

Everything in the universe has a certain way of being that determines its uniqueness. No one is created to imitate another. The deeper we reach into the well of our own soul, the more we can draw from it. The way an artist lands the brush on the canvas is their unique expression. If we copy everything from others, we miss the point of our individuality and the oneness of our divine self.

Dear one, be bold and explore what it means to live life on your terms. It sometimes requires you to go against what others expect of you. Refuse to conform, create new ways of doing things, follow your won path, and set your own goals. Move to the beat of your own drum. There is little benefit in being ordinary just to fit in. Let others know that you have come here to experience wonder and spread joy.

Beloved, you are an original, an individual, a masterpiece. Your uniqueness comes from your imagination, your experience, and your feeling and consciousness. Experience more, imagine more, and feel more to elevate your conscious awareness.

The most attractive people are those who are confident enough to be themselves. Accept that pain, anguish, and disapproval are all part of the experience. Do not allow the opinion of others to diminish your vision for the future. The more you go through challenges, the stronger you become. when you can recognize your own capacities and limitations, you will be ready to make the most of every  moment of your life.

Mantra

I am here to live a uniquely creative life and to be true to myself.
