"I'm Special"

In all the world there is nobody like me. Since the beginning of time there has never been another person like me. Nobody has my smile. Nobody has my eyes, my nose, my hair, my hands, my voice. I'm special. In all of time there has been no one who laughs like me, no one who cries like me. And what makes me laugh and cry will never provide identical laughter and tears from anybody else, ever......

I'm the only one in creation who has my set of abilities. Oh, there will always be somebody who is better at one of the things I'm good at but no one else in all the universe can reach the quality of combination of talents ideas, abilities and feelings.

Through all of eternity no one will ever look, talk, walk, think or do like me.

I'm special, I'm rare. And as in all rarity there is great value. Because of my great rare value I need not attempt to imitate others. I will accept— yes, celebrate my differences. And I'm beginning to see that God made me special for a special purpose. He must have a job for me that no one else can do as well as I.

Out of the billions of applicants only one is qualified. Only one has the right combination of what it takes. That one is me. Because.....I'm Special
