Be and don't be like

Lacking the courage, grace, poise and strength to walk with others in the integrity of what makes them distinctive, different and unique from all others, most people instead invest heavily in any enterprise that lowers them to the blandness of sameness, likeness and the trendy.

Never were we meant to be the same, alike or redundant. Instead it is through the genius of the distinctiveness of each of us that we complement one another. Indeed we find that it is the distinctiveness of each of us that  enables us to fit together like pieces of a puzzle that complete the larger grander purpose of our existence.

That purpose begins in us and for us when we learn to live - with others and in the world - in the integrity of what makes us distinct.
