Christmas With YOU

I was going through some old files and came across one from 1998 that I thought was fitting to share with you today. It had no attribution, but a little time with Google and it seems to be a product of Ralph Marston.

You

You are always you, no matter what kind of car you drive or what size house you occupy. You are always you, no matter what color your hair is, or how much you weigh. Inside, it is always you.

You are not your job. You are not the clothes you wear. You are not the body in which you live. You are more. You are you. There is no one else like you anywhere. You are unique. You have a special contribution to make, not in the distant future, but right now, today.

There is something you can do right this moment, for which you are absolutely the most qualified, the most appropriate, the best suited person to do it. You are better at being you than anyone else in this world. It is your grand, glorious responsibility and the best opportunity anyone could ever hope to have.

You are you. Make the most of that and you’ll understand how very special it is.

I’ve written on and off that your MAP (mindset, attitude, philosophy™) is unique and, like a snowflake, no two are alike.

Today is a holiday and holidays are good days to take a bit of time just for yourself, kick back and cogitate about who you are, where you’re going, how you’re going to get there, who you’ll be when you arrive and, most of all, what you will leave in the wake of your travels through life.

I hope you take the time to do it.

Have a wonderful holiday, filled with all the things that matter to you.
