Fortune Friday: “Your uniqueness is more than an outward appearance.”

So often we define ourselves by the clothes we wear or the car we drive or the music we listen to. We differentiate ourselves further by the company we keep, the foods we won’t eat, and even the TV shows we watch.

And if you’re a teenager you often go to extremes to express your individuality—provided you mirror your peer group exactly.

But how often do we focus on our inner uniqueness? How much time and attention do we give to nurturing and growing that special something that sets us apart from everyone else?

Or are we too busy combing our hair just right.

No one, not even identical twins, share the same fingerprints. Likewise, each of us, no matter how similar to another person, has a completely 100% unique soul. Each of us has a one-of-a-kind inner gift to share, to help make the world a better place.

Don’t hide your candle under a bushel. We need your light.

To your good fortune!
