ORIGINALITY
“Originality exists in every individual because each of us differs from the other. We are all primary numbers divisible only by ourselves.”
~ Jean Guitton
For too many years, I tried to be the same as other people. I matched their styles, repeated their words, and did what they wanted.
I lived to please a crowd of people I did not really know—and they certainly did not know me! I recited other people’s prayers, quoted other people’s opinions, and memorized others’ ideas—and I felt empty.
Today I value the lives of others, and I am beginning to explore my place in the universe. I accept the “specialness” that is me, that uniqueness that makes me one of God’s miracles. Now others are listening to what I say and benefiting from my life.
God, in my difference lam discovering my service.
