What can you become ?

You are not ordinary
You are not normal
You have a vision
You are more than what your body looks like
You are more than what the IQ tests say
You are not just another guy, girl
You are not be overlooked upon
You are not to be treated like Sh1t
You are better and greater than what your friends/ spouse/ co-workers/ society has labelled you
You are not your name
You are not your feelings. If you are angry or sad, people may stay away from you, thinking that those feelings are you, without realizing that its just another part of you
You are much more than what others think you are. Don’t let anyone or anything make your believe otherwise

Don’t you trust me, let me state a few examples from my friend circle ( not in any order. Names hidden to protect anonymity)

1. My friend A and B are my biggest motivation in body building, they have shown wonders with their bodies
2. My friend C is the best person I have know who plays guitar and would love to share about music. He continue to astonish me with his knowledge in guitar and music
3. Friend D never takes ‘No’ for an answer and his friends were taken aback when he decided to choose a job that did not match what he had for his degree program
4. Friend E was a rank holder. She will always be my epitome of an example of concentrate effort and intellectual capability
5. Friend F challenges everything, a voice in the wilderness and implemented what he says, in his life
6. Friend G has immense taste in cooking and shares what she does in her blog. She loves to try new things and encourage others too in cooking
7. Friend F believes that everything in life has a purpose. Difficulties in career has not bogged her down. But she continue to thrust forward in full speed. She strongly believe every challenge is an opportunity to learn
8. Fiend H is an independent soul. She teaches how you can do what you want, even if you are alone in your journey. She maker her every travel special by her photos and humble comments. She symbolizes courage, freedom and strength.A person I know has given up her entire life, every minute of it as a sacrifice for someone else. That entire family is dependent on her.
9. Friend I is my greatest Guru on Spirituality. He taught me about the deepest secrets of the universe. His words of wisdom always astonishes me. The youtube links and urls that he shares with me, would require several hours for me to totally comprehend.
10. Friend J has shown me the power of human spirit over physical ailment, always triumphant and full of hope

The list just goes on.
Note, from initial looks or from the perspective of the world, these are just common people. They are no ways special than you or me. Yet, they have this ‘something special’ that sets them apart. I agree that it’s not easily identifiable. It might take years to truly understand their strength and power, but it is worth it.

My friend, you are extraordinary beyond measure, beautiful beyond perception and purer than the whitest snow. Your skill, love and comfort that you spread, is more beautiful and more wider than the horizon.
Let this Sunday be special for you, and I hope you get to learn something special about you on this beautiful day. Let your journey be easy and may you learn something new. God bless.
