A plum once said, just because a banana lover came by, I converted
myself into a banana. Unfortunately, his taste changed after a few months and so
I became an orange. When he said I was bitter I became an apple, but he went in
search of grapes. Yielding to the opinions of so many people, I have changed so
many times that I no more know who I am. How I wish I had remained a plum and
waited for a plum lover.
Just because a group of people
do not accept you as you are, there is no necessity for you to strip yourself of
your originality. You need to think good of yourself, for the world takes you at
your own estimate. Never stop down in order to gain recognition. Never let go of
your true self to win a relationship. In the long run, you will regret that you
traded your greatest glory - your uniqueness, for momentary validation. Even
Muhammad (PBUH) was not accepted by many
people. The group that does not accept you the way you are, is not your world.
There is a
world for each one of you, where you shall reign as king/queen by just being
yourself. Find that world... in fact, that world will find you.
What
water can do, gasoline cannot and what copper can, gold cannot. The fragility of
the ant enables it to move and the rigidity of the tree enables it to stay
rooted. Everything and everybody has been designed with a proportion of
uniqueness to serve a purpose that we can fulfill only by being our unique self.
You as you alone can serve your purpose and I as I alone can serve my purpose.
You are here to be you... just you.
There was a time in this world when a
Adam (AS) was required and he was sent; a time when a Moses (AS) was required and he
was sent; a time when a Muhammad (PBUH) was required and he was sent; There came a time
when you were required on this planet and hence you were sent. Let us be the
best we can be. Don't miss yourself and let the world not miss
you.
In the
history of the universe, there has been nobody like you and to the infinite of
time to come, there will be no one like you. Existence should have loved you so
much that it broke the mould after making you, so that another of your kind will
never get repeated. You are original. You are rare. You are unique. You are a
wonder. You are a masterpiece... your Master's piece. Celebrate your
Uniqueness.
