I may or may not know you personally, but either way, I can tell you some absolute facts about you. The first is that you are wholly and completely unique. You are one of a kind and following the rule that rarity can equate to value, then you are priceless. You are one of the most complex and amazing things on earth. You specifically are incredible!
You have talent. You have skills. You have things to show and teach to others. You have incredibly strong and complex emotions. You have done things that have affected the entire world, performing actions that created ripples in a pond that stretch out beyond your wildest imagination. You have done good things that have helped people (even when, or perhaps especially when, you didn’t even realize it!) You have changed lives. These are all facts and they are indisputable. Even though every human can lay claim to these things, each and every single one of us, you for instance, are wholly unique in what you’ve done, seen, felt, and thought.
You have the capacity for great good and also for great evil, likely in even measures. How awe inspiring is that? You have this unbelievable potential and if you are reading this, then you have purpose and meaning! You are alive and existing for a reason (or many reasons!) Your work here is not yet done and neither I, nor you, have any idea when your reason for existing will be complete. That is just one more amazing, irrefutable fact about you.
I don’t know how old you are, what gender you are, what your sexual orientation is, or what color your skin is. I don’t know which side of the political spectrum you are on. I don’t know what movies you like, what kind of music you enjoy or the kinds of food that are most appetizing to you. I don’t know any of that and it doesn’t matter – all of the things that are wonderful about you that I mentioned above still apply.
You, my possibly unknown friend, are a wonder and a miracle. My greatest wish for you is that you accept that fact. I hope you believe it and I hope that never have cause to question it. But the cool thing is even if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t stop it from being true. Even with all your power and strength (of which you have in great amounts!) you cannot change the fact, the unshakeable reality, that you are incredible.
I can say, with all honesty and sincerity, that if we met, there would be things about you that I would absolutely love.
Thanks for being you.
