A Singular Universe
One of the easiest truths to learn and observe from the universe in which we live is that everything is unique. We humans have the hardest time assimilating that truth however. It bothers us so much so that we tend to deny this reality with all of our being at times. Nothing is identical in this place we live. From snowflakes to “identical twins” everything in this universe is different in some manner or other. We should all learn to know and cherish this cornerstone truth; that we are by design different from every other person in the world. This knowledge is the true foundation to success in our every endeavor. To know and accept the fact that your singular abilities will bring about your own success is a reassuring knowing since it means that it cannot be taken away from you.
It is in our uniqueness that we are beautiful and not in or similarities. We have been trained by the dominant thoughts of this world to conform rather than to be individuals. We have a responsibility to ourselves and the world to reject conformity and embrace the singular beauty that is ourselves. Appreciation is the key; it does no good to simply say “I am different”, until you are happy in your individuality, for it is in the myriad of differences that our contribution to the universe lies. Observe persons of note. Who plays the violin like Yitzhak Pearlman, who can innovate like Steve Jobs, who has danced like Mikhail Baryshnikov? From Alexander the Great to Frank Zappa we learn life’s lessons; it is in our singularity that we are great, not in our sameness!
Find your uniqueness, cherish it, and learn to use it to benefit others and it will benefit you.
