We Are All Unique In This world.

"A person who just wants to be oneself is more valuable than even the most precious diamond found on earth. This is simply because the person is only one of their type among billions of people, and their uniqueness is growing each moment."-Subodh Jha.

There are no two similar thumb impressions. Likewise, every person is unique in this world. Most often, we compare people with others on many things. The truth is that every human being is endowed with many special gifts and talents, with a definite plan from God for benefiting humanity.

There is a meaning and purpose for every human being born in this world. My English professor used to tell us, "There is not a single person in this world who can be called a good-for-nothing. Everyone has some or other gifts and goodness. But we have to nurture it properly when it will flower in the fullness of time."

Some people hold white-collar jobs and earn substantial incomes, while others work outdoors and barely make enough money to make ends meet. My question is not about money-making. But whether a white-collar job person or a blue-collar job person is happy or not?

Ultimately, what matters is peace of mind and not the things you possess in this world. Society has conditioned our minds to believe that a person can be happy only if they have money and influence. Let us break free from the clutches of wrong thinking. Believe firmly that we are destined to succeed in life.

Wisdom flows from silence. Take some time to go to the woods or sit near a body of water, and silence your mind for an hour, listening gently to the murmurs of nature without speaking. I would go a step further and say that God's wisdom is destined for the humble people living in this world.

Reflect on the tea boy who serves you tea in the office or the driver who takes you in a cab. What is it that you have more than they do? You slowly develop the habit of meditation to understand your limitations as a human being.

We are all the creation of God with our unique talents and gifts to be put to use for the good of humanity. The first thing you should do is condition your mind to the fact that becoming a happy person is more important in this world than obtaining wealth, position, and material things.
