I'm O.K., You're O.K.
Big breath in - Big breath out.
Relax
You're on purpose and everything about you is on purpose. It's all part of the design.
Story: A young man desired to get his mom a very special present for her birthday - "She has everything", he thought. "What can I get her?" He thought long and hard then it came to him. He remembered once seeing a picture of a blown glass sculpture and marveled at how beautiful it was. "She doesn't have one of these. I'll get one to put in her display case with the other beautiful things."
So, he ordered the sculpture online….. When the package arrived he couldn't wait to open it. He was shocked. "What's this? What are all these odd little bubbles? I can't give this messed up sculpture to my mom. I've got time to get a return." So he did.
When the new box arrived he was glad to have the mistake corrected. After opening the box, he almost hit the floor. It wasn't cleared up at all! Still more bubbles in the sculpture. "This will never be good enough. That's enough with this company. I'm getting my money back!"
Still liking the glass blown sculpture idea..... He decided to take a quick trip to Italy to visit the small town where the glass blower lived. This way he could inspect the gift first, then personally pick out a piece for his mom. Now being face to face with the glass blower the young man told him..... "Create for me something brand new and unflawed." The glass blower went to work to create something very special. Upon completion, he presented the sculpture to the young man. When the young man saw the sculpture he became livid and screamed "More imperfections!!!!!"
Jumping up and down, yelling and screaming he told his story about the returns and the trip to Italy. The glass blower just stood there with a big grin on his face. Well, this angered the young man even more.
"Relax", said the glass blower, let me explain.
"Have you ever seen leaves from a tree? "Of course!", said the young man. "Well", he continued "Are they all alike or different?" "They are all different, no two alike.", replied the young man. Continuing on the blower asked, "Have you ever seen snow flakes?" "Of course!", said the young man "Are they all alike or different?" His reply, "They are all different, no two alike. Usually, there is something odd about one or the other making it distinctively unique unlike any other in the world." "Uh oh!", said the young man. "Exactly", said the glass blower. "The glass sculptures are not flawed, leaves are not lawed, snowflakes are not flawed, neither are we as people flawed. What one may see as imperfections or oddities in themselves or others are put there on purpose by the creator to make each individual very special and unique. It's all part of the design.
