Be Unique

 Be Unique

Every day is a unique day for all of us. Sometimes life is very difficult. It feels like you are being knocked down when you are doing everything you can. You are giving it your all, then all of a sudden one day you walk outside and it is a beautiful day, and you realize it is worth it. Sometimes the beautiful day is a friend’s smile, a loved one’s hug, or a stranger giving you a nod. Little things go so far. They are all special in their own way.

But what do you do if you give everything, your all, and nothing ever happens. You try so hard and everything never works out. When is it time to give up. You cannot give up. You never know what the next day, next hour, next minute, or next split second will bring for you.

You know the truth. You know how hard it is to get through this wonderful thing called life. So every day you have a choice to get out there and experience life. It is an amazing gift, and you only get so many chances to use it well.

Find the light in your life. Find things that bring you happiness and joy. Do not give up regardless of what happens. Realize the next day is going to bring more challenges. They may be easier or harder. You can face it because you faced it before, and you will face it again in the future.

No one is responsible for your happiness. It is up to you. If you expect to find somebody that can make you feel better, that does not happen for long. Ultimately, it is up to you to find happiness and joy in this world. 

If you are unwilling to try, this gift can start to feel negative. It does not have to be that way. You can choose a different approach. Some people find joy helping others. Others find joy learning and experiencing things. Others find solace in being in the moment. They do not worry about the future or the past. They stay in the current moment.

Every one of us perceives reality in a different manner. Who is to say who is correct? Ultimately, you are the one that has to find happiness and joy in your life. You are the one that has to get out there and shake up the world.

Do not rely on a phone call or somebody giving you something. You have to make the phone call. You have to get the attention of others. If they do not respond to you, keep at it. Somebody will at some point. If no one responds, then you find a way to make it happen yourself without any help. It is nice when others can help you. But why would they. They are worried about their own lives.

It is up to you to be focused on your reality and figuring out what to do in this amazing world. If life kicks you down, it is up to you to stand back up. If it knocks you back down, stand up again. At some point life will stop taking the wind out of you. Perhaps you will be the one that puts the wind into life.

Ultimately, the ones that have a positive mental attitude, and realize that no one owes them anything, are the ones that achieve amazing success. It might be financial. It may be work related. It may be something you truly care about. It is up to you.

If someone gave you everything, you may be happy for a short time. At some point, you will realize you did not make it happen yourself. If you go through someone’s resources and you have nothing, you are back where you started. However, if you learn how to fish, you can feed yourself for the rest of your days. The best way to get better at life is to live life straight on.

Every day is a chance for success, even the days you feel bad. Those are the days you especially have to show up. Dress for the job that you want. Dress for the recognition and the respect that you want.

No one owes you anything. Not a chance. Not an interview. Not even friendship. If you get any of those, do your best. Seize the day. Carpe diem. In the end, you are the one that has to find happiness and joy in your life. Whether you are a toddler or you are in your final days of life, you have this. Believe in yourself, and others will believe in you.

Have the confidence to realize that you are given a very special gift. So many events led to your existence. One event from eons ago could have resulted in you not existing. In many ways, you are already a winner just by being alive. Maximize it. Be the person that you want to be in this world. If others cannot understand it, you still do. Sleep well at night knowing that you did a good hard day’s work. Achieve the things you want to do. Accomplish what you came here to accomplish.

Believe in yourself. Imagine how amazing this world would be if all of us believed in who we are, our skill sets, and our gifts that we can share with others. Once humanity grows out of its infancy, that will be the reason why. And if humanity never grows out of its infancy, we will know why.
