Greetings, family!
Today is Friday, March 13, DAY 43 of the Season For Nonviolence. The thought for today is UNIQUENESS.
Dale Carnegie says "The greatest need people have is for love and approval." Most of us cannot help comparing ourselves with others, at least now and then. This has become so entrenched in our culture that in order to have self-esteem, it seems almost necessary to say "I am better than he or she" implying therefore I am good. As long as we compete with each other and compare one with another, a certain amount of envy is inescapable. It is the very rare person who is completely free from jealousy.
But as our awareness grows, we will know that there is a uniqueness about everyone. The truly nonviolent person never tries to compare himself with others, or others among themselves. While being aware of our uniqueness, also being aware of our oneness creates a sense of nonviolence.
Today: I will do something that shows how unique I am. I may draw a picture, sing a song, dance or write a story. I will praise, compliment or honor the uniqueness of someone I know and by doing so, notice the positive impact I make by recognizing their uniqueness.
GOD GAVE YOU WINGS (Janis Kelly @ 1996)
CHORUS
God gave you wings, so you could fly
All around the earth, and across the sky
God game you wings, so you could see
You’ve got the power inside to be where you wanna be
You’re like an angel sent from up above
Your heart is filled with pure peace and love
Trusting everybody, kind to everyone
Wise beyond your years, ageless yet young
CHORUS 1X
You’re like a fairy from out of my dreams
You’re filled with magic, wonder and schemes
Dancing through your days, singing in the night
You bring us joy, you bring us light
CHORUS 1X
You’ve got wings to fly—to reach and touch the sky
You’ve got wings to see—you are truly free
You’re like a butterfly, just out of its shell
You radiate beauty that’s too great to tell
You’re a free spirit, you must have space
To let your soul ring out, to find your place
CHORUS 1X
You've got the power inside to be where you wanna be
You've got the power inside to be--where you wanna be
Peace, blessings & brilliance,
Janis
