Our society is so trained to want to be special that even those words "You Are Not Special" can create fear and anxiety!<br /><br />The truth is, any time we are comparing ourselves to someone else, we are not present. <br /><br />Let's face it, getting satisfaction out of comparing ourselves to others is exhausting!!! With over six billion people on the planet, the odds are extraordinarily stacked against you! There will ALWAYS be someone more beautiful, more intelligent, more friendly, more loving, more creative, more successful, and the list goes on and on. Some might say, but the odds are also IN my favor, I can be smarter, prettier, whatever than a ton of people!! LOL. But again, how exhausting to always be keeping score! How much better to just be present with our own Divinity, perfect in all our imperfections!<br /><br />Bottom line is just as you said Laurie. We are ONE human family. When you have a pure and direct connection to the Divine, the need to compare just melts away into PRESENCE. When we are present we are able to see what is wonderful about someone and not feel diminished. We are free to celebrate their gifts, their lights, because it is OUR light.<br /><br />One love. One light. Let's get together and feel all right. <3 <3 <3Kristy Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159988696724678736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587094615069802454.post-27993552412114930072012-08-09T15:05:02.819-06:002012-08-09T15:05:02.819-06:00How true, "don’t worry about how anyone else ...How true, "don’t worry about how anyone else perceives you. I’m saying be your brightest Self just for you, because that’s who you are...not because you are trying to impress." I've always been like the Wizard of Oz standing behind the curtains but still in control of myself pulling my own strings until the government tied me up with my own strings. Now I alone can escape from my own bondage but do need you to please snip a few of these damn strings for me. I'll snip a few of yours for you too.:)KimChristensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794021622244906442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587094615069802454.post-30187661356847254912012-08-09T05:30:57.112-06:002012-08-09T05:30:57.112-06:00This is absolutely beautiful!

If we all could feel special in every way, no matter what our peers tell us about US or even ourselves, we would finally be able to tune in and "listen" to our core inner soul or higher being. We would be all that we are and could continue on our journeys on a much higher perspective. ♥ We ARE enough in every way; divine BEINGS through and through.Matthiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755796778845068635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587094615069802454.post-4466110383672934602012-08-08T18:10:22.359-06:002012-08-08T18:10:22.359-06:00Amazingly cogent...and well-thought, not just for ...Amazingly cogent...and well-thought, not just for those who think they need to be "special" but for those who see others through a critical lens, as in "He's nothing special".

It wasn't enough because wanting to be special means you need to see validation from another. It means the divine spark of life you are isn't enough (wtf?). It means you have to be "better" than another or "less than". I have so appreciated some of my new relationships because I have learned we are all special and not special at all. When you realize you are the "same" you no longer live from a space of hierarchy. You no longer need to be greater or less than anyone else. I have had times recently where people have chosen out of my space because I didn't make them feel, "special enough". That hurt because I was just living and learning. When I am put in the space of having to validate all the people around me it is a role I never will fulfill. I will let someone down inevitably without knowing it. Also, when I have felt the pull to be "special" to someone else I have created my own unnecessary pain. It is all an illusion. When I am in the moment with any one of my friends or family I am in the moment with THEM. I am not thinking of anyone else or what anyone else would think about it. If I do that then I'm not being in integrity with myself. I choose to enjoy each person and each moment and let us all be "special and not special" in each one. We just are, love just is. That is why I wrote about the bird in the cage which talks about the relationships of pain because we are forcing something to look the way we want it to, to feel "special". Relationships flow...or they don't. I agree when we let go of this, we open the door to the joy of being.Divinelight777https://www.blogger.com/profile/12153699388986486367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587094615069802454.post-53499570774398495852012-08-08T14:39:43.050-06:002012-08-08T14:39:43.050-06:00Excellent and inspiring article.
