YOU ARE AN ORIGINAL! Maybe some of you remember me sharing with you a few months ago that I was seeing a therapist. You see, every once in a while I get stuck. I've come to learn this almost always means that I am being compelled to move forward but I'm unconsciously afraid to. So me doing the work means figuring out two things: 1. What I'm afraid of. 2. What it is I'm compelled to do. I finally figured it out. 1. I'm afraid of more rejection. 2. I need to be more authentically me and share more of my ideas that some people will find too heretical. In other words, I need to be my original self and share my original thoughts. Realizing this, though, has brought me another level of peace. I really do believe that each one of us is an original. Not a reproduction, copy, or print. No one else is like you. No one. Like a thumb print, a snowflake, a DNA sample! It's finding the courage to live up this originality that is so necessary and important and that makes the world a better place. Because no one else can be you. Only you can. No one else can be me. Only I can. We rob the world of ourselves if we don't be and live ourselves. So... BE YOU! Because you are FREE to BE! Here's an analogy for you: I make original art. Sometimes I'll make prints of it. The prints sell for a fraction of the price of the original. So why do more and more people request and acquire my originals? Because there's only ONE! It's got my signature. It's rare and therefore very special. Just ONE! JUST. LIKE. YOU! So don't be a cheap copy of something else. Be an original. Because that's what you are. Rare and therefore of high value. This is my plan. Join me! |
