Think of all the people who live or ever lived on our planet since the very beginning of time. None of them is like you! What a miraculous thing is to be you! Nobody has the same combination of talents, abilities, sorrows and opportunities. No one has the same friends, family jokes or acquaintances. Nobody‘s finger prints are the same. No one has the same concerns or goals like you. No one! You are unique! Accept and enjoy this uniqueness. You don‘t have to pretend to look more like other expect you to be. Don‘t be afraid to be different. No one in the world has the same things going on in his mind, soul, spirit as are going on in yours. It is a gift only to you. Treasure and share your uniqueness! Nobody can speak your words. Nobody can smile your smile. No one can bring the same unique impact of you to another person. Enjoy your uniqueness, let it flow out among your family and friends, all the people you meet. Give yourself away and be inspired by the fact that you are U...

An old pencil maker took his newest pencil aside, just before he was about to pack him into a box. Imagining the little fellow as a person he recalled a few things about the pencil. “There are five things you need to know,” he said to his pencil, “before I send you out into the world. Always remember these five things - never forget them - and you will become the best pencil you can be! “The first thing is to remember that you will be able to do many great things, but only if you put yourself in someone else’s hands. “From time to time you will experience a painful sharpening, but remember that this will make you a better pencil. “Also, keep in mind that you will be able to correct any mistakes you might make along the way. “And the most important part of you is what’s on the inside. “And remember this, as well, upon every surface that you are used, you must leave your mark. No matter what else happens, you must continue to write.” It seemed the pencil listened to him and p...

The real reason why we sometimes experience a lack of real, deep lasting happiness in our lives is dependency. We are taught to make our happiness dependent on some event, condition, person, object etc. This is why we keep delaying our happiness until things are just right in our life. We think we will be happy in the future and then wonder why we are not happy now. But life is never just right, and the future never comes – there is only now! And that's why, in order to be happy we must make our happiness a decision and not a dependency. This may seem slightly difficult in the beginning, because we have just spent our life being dependent on acquiring something or someone, or seeing the result we desired, or wanting some pain to go away, before we allow ourselves to be happy.

        Every one of us wants our lives to be flawless. When we dream, we dream about perfection. A perfect life, perfect friends, perfect job, perfect house, perfect everything. But will that flawless life really make you happy? Think again. In fact,  our strongest emotions, trust, empathy, and love are not perfect.  They all have their unique flaws. They all live their own flaws and mistakes which makes your life unique. Go and ask a person who is happy with his or her life, what do they have to say about a perfect life. The happiest people don’t look for perfection in their life.  They don’t want their life to be flawless. They don’t dream of a world where everything is bigger and better. Instead, they fall in love with those tiny flaws around them, which make their life unique. Just imagine your dream house, what do you see? Do you see a large and spacious mansion shining from top to bottom? Do you see a movie theatre, a large pool, a l...
