Unique

I was right. When people told me that I was unique, I used to tell them, "So is everyone", and I believed it truly, despite repeated protests from the very generous appraiser. Well, I never felt overwhelmed by any one person particularly. I have seen everyone around me and have been fascinated by each and everyone. I remember that in school, instead of sticking to closely-knit groups, as was the norm, I would interact with any and every one, even people of other classes. My group would sometimes eye me with narrow-eyes, but I kept talking to everyone. Make no mistake, I loved people of the group very much. I just couldn't see any point in being in a tight circle of people.

Of late, I have been spending time with one of my colleagues. I have become privy to the minute intricacies of his character in the time we have had to spend together. I am seeing new sides of him every other day and then it hit me: Everyone IS unique. Everyone has beautiful sides to them. Everyone has something that can overwhelm you and it is time, that brings out these points for you to appreciate. For some, these amazing qualities lay bare on the surface to be felt by anyone they meet. For others, the ones who don't really shine for anyone and everyone, their spark lies beneath a layer of sobriety and self-restraint. Why the layer, you ask: it may be because they're shy, wary of the environment, creating an impression (or warding off a negative one) or avoiding being judged. Whatever the reason, once you see the spark, you realize how amazing the other person can be.

My point here is that everybody has that spark in them if you bother to take time and notice it. Give yourself a chance to observe and flow. You'll be amazed at how much magic people have in them.


Light up the world around you! Everyone has the spark.
