Thank you for joining us today on Enjoying Everyday Life.

I pray that the Word of God will bless you today and

change your life. I'm going to be teaching on authentically

and uniquely you. I'm going to start with some

opening comments. Being your authentic and unique self in a world that is usually

trying to make you what they want you to be is a challenge that we will deal

with at varying times throughout our lives.

We're all unique and that's a good thing.

That's not a bad thing. It's a good thing. There is no one exactly like you in the world,

no one, and that makes you not only unique but special.

I want you to get that.

One of the kind things are usually very valuable and they're sought after.

With that in mind, why do we try so hard to be someone else?

Why do we try to be like other people? It's usually because

we're not fully accepting ourselves and we fear that other people won't either.

It's amazing how the way we feel about ourselves, we usually project on to other people

thinking that they'll feel the same way about us that we do.

God gives each of us unique talents, abilities, and traits.

But he doesn't give anyone everything. I think that's a very important point.

None of us have everything but we all have something.
