There Is Only One You

You are your actions, your thoughts, your ideas, your beliefs, your understandings, and your misunderstandings. It is okay to own yourself, it is even more okay to be open to changes and new ideas, and new beliefs as things happen to you. The you whom you know today is probably not the same you of ten years ago. We all have core beliefs of our own making, gleaned through our own life experiences, our own upbringings, our own journey, our own hurts, and glories and loves and feelings. God does not give us equal lives. He gives us our own life so we can learn the lessons we were sent by heaven to learn. We help the world when we share and live our own perspectives, our own expertise, and our own truths. Live wisely my friends. There is only one you, and the angels were asked to create you and send you to Earth for a reason.

Very well-stated... this is definitely a FAV! Something that stood out to me in that first line was that you included the phrase, "and your misunderstandings" to that list. Profound. Sometimes the things we misunderstand shape and define us (as much or more than the things we know). Great poem!!!

Thank you Rhona. The misunderstanding part came along with the re-write, and I knew it had to be included.
