WHAT IS YOUR UNIQUENESS
Years back, I read the story of the late Whitney Houston, an American singer and actor. I first knew her as a singer and loved her musical journey. This woman kept thriving consistently and was a force to reckon with. If you are keen on music, you will appreciate the power her voice carried from high notes to low notes, the message her songs carried, the artistic side of her while performing and her ease at transposing among other attributes.
I watched a movie in which she featured “The Bodyguard” and my eyes were glued to the screen, the story, her beauty, diction, incredible voice – you name it! Unfortunately, and in time, her secret struggles could not be hid. She could not bear them anymore; she made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Before I could recover from the news, she was no more.
I cannot help but think about whether Whitney knew her uniqueness. Did she understand that there was none who could match her vocal standards? Did she realize that she was skilled and uniquely gifted to be who she was? Did she even get to retrieve and think about self? She changed the world and made the world a better place through her songs! We could see her beauty, voice, style and more, but what was she seeing? Where was her focus? What was she chasing after? What did she desire so bad? She had everything she needed, at face value, but underlying issues pushed her to look without for answers and satisfaction. That is what happens when we lose our uniqueness.
What is your uniqueness? What is that one thing that no other person can beat you at? Have you found it? Do you even know it exists? No one can beat you at being you; you are the best version of yourself there is; but do you even believe it?
We all must discover our uniqueness – some quality that makes us stand out from the rest. Real satisfaction comes from understanding and discovering self but some of us fail to recognize what we have and search for it elsewhere when we already have it on the inside. We only need to align ourselves with it – that is all it takes! If you have not discovered your uniqueness, this blog is for you. You are not too far from what you are looking for. All you need to do is look and focus within. You can begin today; you can begin now.
