Connecting to what makes you UNIQUE

“No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn’t know it.” The Alchemist

This is such an amazing reminder of why we are here and how we need to tap into what our uniqueness is about. The way we think & process information, Our attitude, our perceptions are all? a matter of choice.

How do you tap into that? UNIQUE self?

What can it comprise of?

Here are the six attributes you can focus on, to connect to what makes you UNIQUE

-Understanding: This is the first step of connecting to the #voiceinme. A journey with the self or better still inwards is what makes this meaningful & interesting. The journey of life is a beautiful one, where we understand it only when we look at it?backwards. One of the important lessons we learn is that many a time the people who come into our lives come to teach us about ourselves.

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”?Carl Jung

-Novel: When life throws challenges at us, our navigation is guided by our perspectives. When we start looking at life as an adventure it brings the best out of us. We live in the moment. The more creative our perspective, the more novel the approach. This makes it interesting and challenging at the same time.

“The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.” Carl Rogers

-Inspiring: When we bring out our best versions, it's not about competing with others but setting our own benchmarks. The attempt when we get out there is about focussing on how we up our benchmarks rather than in comparison with anyone else. We never know who we are inspiring. Being our best version in everything we do, is one of the steps, we definitely are taking the right way!

“The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.” Kobe Bryant

-Question: It is important to encourage questioning. Allowing the curiosity factor to be satiated is a beautiful way of keep oneself ready to learn. It takes a lot of humility to ask questions when s/he does not understand. To be prepared very well ,being proactive and asking all possible questions during preparation of any tasks, is a prerequisite. . When you know your material very well, you are prepared to a major extent. However, it is important to be? flexible to answer questions that arise due to the different perspectives that the audiences bring and encourage questions. This is the best way to open up both the presenter & the audience.?

“I had six honest serving men-they taught me all I knew: Their names were, Where and What and When-and Why and How and Who.’’ Rudyard Kipling

-Unaffected: It is such an important quality to be objective and not allow emotions to dominate.When we remain unaffected or objective, we do not allow external situations to take charge. It is very important that we stay grounded and calm to respond to what is happening rather than react to the world. This helps one to zoom out and see the bigger picture rather than be caught up in minor details. ?

“Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.”-Mahatma Gandhi.

-Empowered: It is so important to feel confident. The thought process of how you are putting your thoughts together is what can help to express them well. Having the freedom and responsibility to live as per your choice is what empowerment is, in the true sense of the term. When you make those choices of what you are pursuing because it resonates with you, immaterial of who agrees with you is when you are truly empowered. You follow what you think will be the solution to a problem with full confidence . This will have a ripple effect? on everyone around YOU!

“Empowering the individual means empowering the nation. And empowerment is best served through rapid economic growth with rapid social change.” Atal Bihari Vajpayee

The purpose behind finding your Uniqueness is? best explained by Larry Winget:

“Discover your uniqueness and learn to exploit it in the service of others, and you are guaranteed success, happiness, and prosperity.”

Would love to know what UNIQUE means for you.
