Uniqueness – Looking Beyond Labels to See Strengths

Too often we label our “uniqueness” with other less than flattering adjectives such as “weird,” “odd,” “bizarre,” or something similar. Some expressions of uniqueness are done in less than wise and informed ways that may make themappear a bit questionable and therefore generate hurtful labels. These labels then can be inordinately diminishing in both understanding and expressing our unique uniqueness.

Therefore, we need to look beyond the labels that have been affixed to our uniqueness, as well as those that we affix to others, in order to see the potential and the possibilities in the uniqueness. It is then that we are able to maximize our unique gifts, talents and abilities free of encumbering labels that would likely serve to diminish both our understanding of our uniqueness, as well as the possibilities inherent within them.
