Thought For the Day: Be You

“If I try to be like him, who will be like me?” –  Yiddish proverb

There’s an open secret in life.  If you listen very closely, you can hear it.

Be you, says the wind, the rain, the sun and the moon.

Be you!

You can’t be me.  I can’t be someone else.  Oh, we can try.  But, it never works out.  Not the way God intends it.  Not the way, we want it.

Sure each of us has imperfections.  That’s part of being me and you.  But, be you!

You’re the best as God intends it.

Don’t you think so?  Don’t you know so?

And if you are you, the world will be so much the better for it!
