Be Yourself and Not Somebody Else

If you have skill in details, that is wonderful. If you don’t have skill in details, you have skill in something else. Skilled or unskilled, this is wonderful. You do not have to be everything to everyone, certainly not to yourself do you have to have every talent in the world. It’s okay when you have your mind on other things than what the majority might want you to uphold.
 
So what if you are a square peg in a round hole? So what if you see differently from everyone else in the world? Do you really want to be like everyone else? What is everyone else like anyway?
 
Beloveds, where does your happiness lie? Does it lie in conforming to another’s picture of you? What can give fulfillment to your heart, your beautiful blessed heart? Your heart is in your hands, and not in someone else’s. How much awareness of what is in your heart do you allow yourself?
 
To be sure, you don’t want to be only self-centered, yet you do have a self that deserves happiness.
 
Once upon a time, My beloved children may not have had all the choices that are open to you now. You live in this time and place in the world, and not in another time and place. While there is nothing new under the sun, nevertheless, you are new under this sun. If you live in Alaska or in a desert region, there are different requirements for you. Be true to yourself. Be true to the sky above you that goes beyond time and place. Every day you are new.
 
Great possibilities are open to you. Climb over the walls and find yourself. I designed you as you. I didn’t design you as somebody else. Let someone else live in his truth, and you live in yours. I proclaim you you. Yes, it’s true that We are all One. Oneness is the essence of you. Everyone is One with Me and One with you. Yet on Earth, you partake in individuality. You don’t have to be different from everyone else, yet you also don’t have to seemingly be like everyone else. What for? Especially when you don’t get the hang of it, especially if you fly under false colors.
 
Everyone has the same destiny. Everyone returns to My heart, even as no one has left it. In the course of life in the world, everyone has his path. No two paths are exactly the same.
 
Dear Ones, not everyone has to get on to the same bandwagon. One bandwagon does not have to be perceived as better than another, though, of course, many think so. You are you. The best wagon for you to get on is your own. If you like to sing, sing. If you like to dance, dance. If you like to meet with friends often, meet with friends often. If you like to be solitary often, be solitary often. I am giving you permission to be who you are and not have to be what any other may say you should be. In the individuality of the world, you can proclaim yourself your own person. You have every right. It is your privilege, and it is your destiny while on Earth.
 
Others may expect too much of you, and you, also, may expect too much of yourself. Yes, you adapt to your environment as it is, yet you do not adapt yourself to what everyone else’s dream of you may be. You are your own person. So be it. This doesn’t mean you are a rebel. How can you be a rebel when you are truly following your own path? Be lawful and kind and be yourself, not somebody else.
