Our Uniqueness

Our unique qualities shine when we consider those things we value the most. Stop to think about
what thrills you, and you will begin to see the qualities that make you quite unlike anyone else.
 If you wake up in the morning feeling enthusiastic about the day ahead, you probably have a clear sense of
those things that make you unique. Best of all, you can't wait to put them to work!
 Unfortunately, far too many folks view the day from a perspective of struggle. They place the responsibility
for their contentment on outer circumstances.
When we recognize our unique qualities, we find they are always available. They allow us to give and receive
joy throughout our daily activities. We become more resilient. We begin to take responsibility for the
happiness we want in our lives.
