Dare to be Different!

Ever looked at the parts of a jigsaw puzzle? They are all different shapes and sizes! Some rounded, cornered, jagged, crooked, straight, long, short etc. If you look at a single piece by itself, it holds no significance. But once you put all the pieces together, in their right places, you can see the bigger picture (pun intended).

All of us, are like these pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. We are all different. Some introverts, some extroverts. Some, by nature, are happy-go-lucky while others are sour pusses. Some studious while others sporty. Some street-smarts and some book-worms. Some, whom you can go to for advice and others just to laugh your lungs out with. We each have our own quirkiness and qualities. We keep grumbling about others, finding faults in them. But life would be so boring if all of us were the same. Imagine looking at a mirror wherever you go. Instead of always pointing out the differences, why not just accept them?  We all need a nerd here, a genius there, a prankster here and a counsellor there. These are the various ingredients that add a little zing and zest to life. After all variety is the spice of life!

We are all rough around the edges. But put together, we make up for each other’s faults and differences. We are the yin to another’s yang! Our differences are what actually makes us compatible with each other. In unison and in harmony we make the bigger and better picture. Everything falls into its own place.

So be proud of who you are! Never try to be like someone else. Your uniqueness is vital. Because if even a single piece of the puzzle gets lost, the picture remains incomplete.
