英语诗歌:A celebration of the uniqueness of YOU! 你的庆祝日

Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. Today, let’s celebrate the uniqueness of YOU.

You have been created as a completely unique individual. While your thoughts and ideas may be similar to those of other human beings, no one possesses exactly the same combination of gifts and dreams and hopes and ambitions that you carry within you. You are a marvelous, miraculous¹ combination of potential and character, personality and ability.

When you look at other people and all that they've accomplished² and all that they have, there's no need to compare yourself with them. Quite simply put, their lives are different. They are where they are, and you are where you are. Your goal as a unique individual should not be to have and do the things that other people do, but to find your own path, your own way of being, your own way to accomplish your goals and reach your own dreams.

Remember always that there are people who would have you believe that you would be better off rejecting your uniqueness and acting³ just like everyone else. There are people who would like to see you have the same wants as everyone else. You are not here, though, to conform to what others want you to be--you are here to be yourself, to share your unique and special gifts with the people who are a part of your life. Do not distress⁴ yourself with imaginings of "what you should be" or "where you should be" or "what you should be accomplishing." Instead, look at your life and look for the opportunities that are there for you to share your gifts and your unique perspective on life with others.
