I realized something the other day…
You are incredible!
Of the billions of people who roam around the Earth, never has there been anybody who is exactly like you. Nobody walks, talks or acts just the way you do. The thoughts you have, and what you do with them, are marvelously unique to you.
And you know what the best part is?
You are truly incredible, just the way you are!
Even with your errors and all of your faults, you’ve got quite a lot going for you. Sometimes you fall, sometimes you fail, but despite it all, you are still here to talk about it, and that’s quite an achievement. Others have not been so fortunate and many have quit along the way, while you’ve kept plugging.
From the very start, you were the fastest. You may not have had the best start, and you may have even started way back in the pack, but your sperm made its way past the rest. When the others tuckered out, tired from the journey, you kept on chugging, giving it your all. Then after reaching your goal, you made that egg yours, fertilizing it and beginning the magical process of your conception.
Then, after you were born, you began to look about you, taking in all the sights, sounds, and things you could possibly touch. You began to form your very own perception of the world and your surroundings. You listened to what people said and together with your experiences now have your own opinion about what is right and wrong.
When you went to school, maybe you were unsure of yourself or perhaps even scared, but you got through. Little by little you began to learn the ropes, form your friendships and develop your interests. Likely there were difficulties with some of the other kids, and at times the pressure of learning so much information might have seemed to be too much. Yet the sun came up the next day, you shook off the cobwebs and continued on your way.
One stage after another and many experiences later, here you are today. You may be happy or you may be sad, but regardless of your emotional state, you are incredible. The mere fact you can now read these words means you’ve made it through quite a lot of difficulty just to be here with me now. Think about it. Your heart has continued to beat and your lungs have continued to breathe throughout it all. Your body has continued to work since you were born, despite the abuse you give it, and that’s quite an accomplishment.
There is only one you in this world and that’s pretty amazing. While others go about their daily deeds, so do you. Your path may not have always been the best one, and there may be somethings you would do different, but despite it all, you continue to be here to tell your history.
Emotions can sidetrack us from time to time from what is really important in life and above all from how we value ourselves. Regardless of how you feel in this instant, I can guarantee you one thing…
You are incredible!
