YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE

You are a Masterpiece...By: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar


A plum once said, “just because a banana lover came by, I converted
myself into a
banana. Unfortunately, his taste changed after a few months and so I
became an orange.
When he said I was bitter I became an apple, but he went in search of
grapes. Yielding
to the opinions of so many people, I have changed so many times that I no
more know who
I am.  How I wish I had remained a plum and waited for a plum lover.”

Just because a group of people do not accept you as you are, there is no
necessity for
you to strip yourself of your originality. You need to think Good of
yourself, for the
world takes you at your own estimate.  Never stoop down in order to gain
recognition.
Never let go of your true self to win a relationship. In the long run, you
will regret
that you traded your greatest Glory - your uniqueness, for momentary
validation. Even
Gandhi was not accepted by many people. The group that does not accept you
as YOU is not
Your world.

There is a world for each one of you, where you shall reign as king /queen
by just being
yourself. Find that world... In fact, that world will find You.

What water can do, gasoline cannot and what copper can, gold cannot. The
fragility of
the ant enables it to move and the rigidity of the tree enables it to stay
rooted.
Everything and everybody has been designed with a Proportion of uniqueness
to serve a
purpose that we can fulfill only by being our unique self. You as you
alone can serve
your purpose and I as I alone can serve my purpose.  You are here to be
you... Just YOU.

There was a time in this world when a Krishna was required and he was
sent; A time when
a Christ was required and he was sent; a time when a Mahatma was Required
and he was
sent; a time when a J.R.D.Tata was required and he was Sent. There came a
time when you
were required on this planet and hence you were sent. Let us be the best
we can be.



In the history of the universe, there has been nobody like you and to the
infinity of
time to come, there will be no one like you.  Existence should have loved
you so much
that it broke the mould after making you, so that another of your kind
will never get
repeated. You are original. You are rare. You are unique. You are a
wonder. You are a
masterpiece. .. Your Master's piece. Celebrate your Uniqueness."
