Awaken Your Day - July 22 Magic of an Open Mind

"Let's assume that each person has an equal opportunity, not to become equal but to become different. To realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses."
- John Fischer

I cannot claim to have been the greatest role model of this idea in my early years. For many years of my life I was unjustly judgemental and negatively opinionated. Everyone has their reasons, but as we get older it becomes so enlightening when we learn to focus less on our excuses...sorry, "reasons" and focus more on the value we are missing in people we meet.

I do not remember the day, but I remember the feeling that I had when I finally conciously sat and tried to consider someones good points over those that I chose to be annoyed with.

The feeling was alot more relaxing, and I discovered that I understood much more about this person. Right on top of the list, he was really funny and just a whole lot less uptight than I was.
I actually started listening more when he spoke or made jokes. I realized he was different than I was, and it was a great thing that he was. And so it has been now for many people I have encountered.

I am not sure why it is so easy for us to expect people to be like us, or more like we want them to be. I shudder when I think about all the value we over look by being focused on the wrong qualities. I must consider how I would feel if people did not like the way I am. Wait...there is some people that don't like the way I am ... BUT, I do . I like who I am.

And I value having achieved that understanding about myself, and so it is now that I am better equipped to recognize more value in others.

Embracing all the good that comes from acknowledging the uniqueness of each other, I feel we adopt more to ourselves and grow in ways that we may not see right away, but others can certainly feel around us.

Enjoy the differences, and absorb all that they teach us. And while you do that, celebrate your uniqueness for it took you a lifetime to prepare it for showing.

You are unlimited, and you are unique. How can you not succeed today?
Good Morning - and it is a pleasure knowing you.
