Uniqueness cannot be Learned

Subtitle: What makes you unique?

People approach developing what makes them different (Your Personal Brand) in two ways: they look at what others are doing and modify it, or they stumble on an idea that nobody is doing, and hope to be successful. On the surface neither of these two techniques are necessarily wrong however, they are external ways of looking at things.

You cannot learn how to be unique. You already are unique – there is no one else like you – you must find that uniqueness within and bring it out.

I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty.

You don’t grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house…

-Kabir

How much better would it be to bring forth your individuality, define, nourish, and hone it into a magnificent blade displayed for all to see, and use that tool to carve and hack out your success? Isn’t that why you wish to be unique after all – to be successful?

A successful person is not necessarily one who has a great business, or has a lot of money, or is popular, etc.  What good are those if you are unhappy?  Success is the mastery of oneself, conquering one’s fears – then you’ll be happy.  Isn’t that what you really want – to be happy?

    Very good post and talking points, Louis. Once again, you have me thinking. My philosophy is to “make a difference”. If I make a difference in someone’s life, in a community, in the world….I am happy. I know I have qualities (good and bad), I have a unique background, I have a network of contacts (family, entrepreneurs, community leaders, professors..experts…) that at times make themselves available for advice, conversation, and support. All of these “tools” are different than the tools you carry in your tool belt, for example. Bottom line, I work everyday in making a difference in this world, and I am confident I do it differently than anyone else…and I am proud of it. Oh, by the way, I am happy!
