In all the world, there's nobody like you.

Since the beginning of time,
there has never been another person like you.
Nobody has your smile,
nobody has your eyes, your nose, your hair,
your hands, your voice.

Nobody can be found who has your handwriting.
Nobody anywhere has your taste -
for food, or music or art.
No one sees things just as you do.

In all of time there has been no one who laughs like you,
no one who cries like you.
And what makes you laugh and cry,
will never provoke identical laughter or tears
from anybody else,
ever . . .

No one reacts to any situation as you would react.
You are special.
You are the only one in all creation
who has your set of abilities.

Oh, there will be always be somebody
who is better at one of the things that you are good at,
but, no one in the universe can reach the quality of talents,
ideas, abilities and feelings.

Like a room full of musical instruments,
some may excel alone,
but, no one can match the symphony sound
when all are played together.

You are special. You are rare.
And, in rarity, there is great value to us here on earth.
Because of your great rare value,
you need not attempt to imitate others.
You will accept - yes, celebrate -
your differences.

You are special.
And, you are beginning to realize it's not an accident
that you are special.
You are beginning to see that
God made you special for a special purpose.
He must have a job for you
that no one else can do as well as you.

Out of all the billions of applicants,
only one is qualified,
only one has the right combination of what it takes.

That is you.

Because . . .

You are special !
