We’re not all the same and that’s a beautiful thing.

Who would want to live in a world populated by clones all doing exactly the same thing in the same way?

Is cloneliness really next to godliness?

If so, why is everyone unique?

When you think about it, you realize that one talent doesn’t make someone more important than someone with another talent. It just makes people different.

You too are unique, you have talent that nobody else has, so why not use it? Why not share it? Maybe you won’t have a stadium of people cheering you on, but is that necessary?

Does applause always mean that what you’re doing is right?

Let’s be honest, the only person we are expected to be is our self. If you won’t be yourself, who will? That actor down the street? He’s a decent actor but do you really want him to play you? No.

Trust me. You don’t want people to play you.

Ahem. Think of it, all we can really do is to do our best with the talents and opportunities we have been given. If nothing comes of it, we can rest in the knowledge that we did what we could with what we have. If there is a harvest, all the better. We can thank the one that gave us whatever talent we possess.

So, why hide that light of yours?

Why listen to those who say you should bury that talent? Why not use that gift you’ve been given, to give us a gift. Your painting, your singing, your listening, your encouraging, or whatever it is you’ve been given to do.

What if the piece you’ve been holding back is the piece of the puzzle we’ve been missing?

Why not use today to sow some seeds? Who knows, tomorrow you may see that some of those seeds have already started growing.

You’ll never know unless you try.
