All of you have been born to be UNIQUE!!!
As babies you still are unique. You are pure and act according to your needs. You don't know yet what it means to be shamed or disappointed or anxious or fearful.
And then you get older. You become toddlers and there it starts: You are being told not to throw tantrums, not to cry and instead to obey and not to run and to be quiet and the list goes on ...
Every time you try to be unique or different within your family or the system you grow up in or definitely many times too often you are being told not to act out. You are told to blend in.
And then you are sent to day care, pre school and school and you have to blend in. Every time you try to show your Uniqueness, you get into trouble.
Then you go to University and have a job and again you have to blend in, you have to do what you are told. You have to do what your boss tells you to. Even if you are in Marketing and think you can live out your Uniqueness in the ideas you come up with, there might always be someone telling you how they want things done differently. I guess there is only a minority amongst the population who can fully play out their Uniqueness. I am thinking of artists or designers, who devoted their lives to share their Uniqueness with the rest of the world. How lucky are they?
As for the rest of you, all your lives you are being told to blend in!!!!
I don't know about you but I notice, the more mature I become the more I feel like standing out once again, doing something out of the ordinary.
Aren't you sometimes sick of blending in and isn't it wonderful and blissful when our children try to be unique?
Shouldn't we embrace their Uniqueness a lot more and even motivate them to pursue and deepen it?
I believe that my Uniqueness is in connecting with people. I used to love chatting to everyone who walked passed our house. I would always stop them and have a conversation with them. It was my way of saying, 'Hello, look at me, here I am!'
Now, tell me, what is the Uniqueness you were born with? Is it still there or have you buried it, tucked it away into the forgotten part of your brain? Can you even remember what your Uniqueness used to be? I would like to challenge to think about it and share with my what you think YOUR UNIQUENESS might be?
I can't wait to hear from you!
Until then I send you all my love and keep working on expressing my Uniqueness:)
Love,
Andrea
