Celebrating our uniqueness as individuals helps us to relate and harmonize with others.  It allows us to shine on those needing encouragement during challenging times.  Because everyone has special gifts and abilities; they just come in different shapes and forms.  Some people's smiles light up rooms; others speak kind words that lift spirits into higher places of joy and happiness.  Our empowerment doesn't always come from success...but in never giving up when things don't go as planned.  And by being patient with ourselves and others, we can truly be ourselves: unique in every way.
