Principle #2 from Ten Principles for Re-Igniting Your Life:*
You are unique. No one else has lived your life, and no one else can tell your story or express your passion.
No two snowflakes alike. Up close, we marvel at each crystal-like formation, spire, angle, and sparkle. Typically, we observe multitudes of marvelous, unique, matchless snowflakes piled in blankets covering the yard or heaps by the side of the road.
“One-of-a-kind” becomes absorbed in a mass. A snowflake becomes simply “snow”, or worse yet, “pile.”
It is not that different for us. We evolve from person, unique, distinctive, special,– to people, multitudes, the masses. We are labeled as “Boomers” or (even worse) older adults. Our individuality slowly melts into a neatly packaged demographic.
If a person wants to RE-IGNITE her passion for life, one must get acquainted with one’s uniqueness. The outcome can be extraordinary.
YOU are one of a kind! Physically, no one has your fingerprints, DNA, voice, or even the same wrinkle pattern. You have distinctive intelligence, learning abilities, education, training, and reading preference. Your personality may be described by the same letters, animals or colors as other people. Combined with your strengths, gifts, skills, and abilities, and you are like none other.
You become inimitable when you overlay your design with life experiences, joys, traumas, upbringing, choices, opportunities and decisions. A formerly blurry image comes into focus.
No one else has your story! No one else can express the passion of your heart. No one else can follow your calling.
There are not two identical snowflakes. There is no one like you. Matchless.
Is it time to discover your unique design and what God wants you to do with your life? Consider Re-Igniting your life and living it full of purpose and passion. The world needs you!
