Discover what is special about you, what makes you you?


In the exercise, "what do you want to be acknowledged for?" you have a chance to discover what is special about you.

To be able to love life, to do fulfilling work, you need to know and organize your life around what is special about you.

I just acknowledged a woman for what she wanted to be acknowledged for.

I have known her for some time, but it turns out: I didn"t know her at all. The organizing principle was missing, so I added my opinion to organize her around in my mind: scared.

But it turns out that she moved from one country to another to start a new life, away from a husband she no longer wanted. Start a new life without a support network, from scratch.

Knowing that about her I can support her more effectively, because now I know that she can. She has done it before, she can do it again... because that life experience is a lot like starting and running a business... no safety net, no real support, no umbilical cord, no running back to mama.

So the underlying question, under the "what do you want to be acknowledge for" is "what makes you you? what did you do that is special. what special qualities do you bring to life?"

I am going to use myself as an example:

I may have an abundance of things I feel special, or others would say I am special,

Others" opinion doesn"t matter. What YOU say matters. This is important! We are listening in to your Self... with capital S.

The conversation I had the other day with the woman from Syracuse has proven to me that what others think about me is none of my business... as in: it is showing me from their vantage point... and living a life to please others is a life not worth living. I think this is what happened to many comic geniuses, Robin Williams, or Jim Carrey... Robin Williams killed himself, Jim Carrey re-invented himself.

You want to be the one who re-invents himself or herself. OK?

So, back to me:

I have found that I have a unique ability to hold, manage, and keep lots of plates in the air spinning... in every area of life. That includes 20-30 acquantances, even if they are present all at the same time.

I remember their names, their stories, their pains, their pleasures... and it is fun for an hour or two a week. But it is empty, for me. It is fun, like an exercise. But not what I want my life to be about.

It"s taken me a lot of time, many decades, to develop this capacity, it is useful, but only as a tool.

So what is special about me that others may not know, but I can and want to build a life on and around?

The fact that I can connect to any person, or nearly any object at will, if I see their picture or if I have seen their picture, is unique about me. I don"t have to use my mind to imagine, visualize, or throw a cord at them. I just connect... is a special thing about me.

The fact that I can connect to Source, whatever that is, and create a "threesome" is another unique thing about me.
