Every moment is unique, unknown, completely fresh.
Weird, strange, different and unique are all different shades of the same word. How you perceive an experience or individual will determine which shade of this word you use. Another's perception may be entirely different.
A man sees things from a different light and has to fight for what he believes in. Is he wrong for not wanting to belong or is the real wrong the way that others treat him? Is the man weird, strange, different or is he unique?
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time. This expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.
No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
"While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die- whether it is our spirit, our creativity, or our glorious uniqueness"
We are all unique and all have a unique world view and definition of reality.
"The most difficult battle you ever fight is the battle to be unique in a world that will marshal its every force to keep you the same."
I'm not weird; I'm Unique!
"Artists are the seeds, brave enough to live and flower before humanity. Our soil is contemplation, our water, its understanding. Whether my petals be beautiful to another, to I and The Maker, they are Unique and yet, only equally as beautiful as any other. Some call that being a Dreamer. I call it, being Belov'ed."
Society evolves not by shouting each other down, but by the unique capacity of unique, individual human beings to comprehend each other.
[sorry if we can't all be unoriginal] but I have a mold to break.
I LIVE to think for myself. I refuse to be a mindless sheep following the crowd into cookie-cutter oblivion. Otherwise I'd just be a zombie with no heart or passion in life.
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is
translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you
in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will
never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not
have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how
valuable, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your
business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, to keep the channel
open.... You have to keep open and aware directly to the urge that
motivates you. Keep the channel open.

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased.

If I add something to my time, then that is my prize.
The task is to recognize that you are uniquely special, have something to give, some talent no one else shares in quite the same way. This gift needs to blossom so we can appreciate and enjoy the benefits of it and acknowledge you for it. You owe this to yourself and to all of us to honor your gifts, for only when you share your unique joy with the world does the entire world benefit. Every advance mankind has known has come because of someone's effort. Don't let shyness rob you and the world of the power and the passion that lies within you. No one can be all that you will be except you yourself. Follow your passion.
We have so much to celebrate!! There is a permanent party rocking the Universe! We are all standing on one giant revolving dance floor- get out there and do your thing and do it well! Dance the dance of life, and let your own unique and beautiful rhythm flow. Hey, reckon you can't dance? Did you know that six trillion actions occur in the human body every second, every single one of which is working in correlation with all the others! This infinite organizing power is working for you at any given second, how is that for coordination! All you need is in you. You are already dancing inside now you just let it show!
"Be the artist you were born to be."
You are one in infinity. There will never ever be another you no matter how far into the future - nor how far into the past - we look, and that makes you priceless beyond measure just the way you are. We all are - and we all forget - that's why we have each other. It's in the very reminding that we are reminded.
Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that never was before and never will be again.
