Look, not everyone has to be like everyone else. Not everyone has to be outgoing. Not everyone has to be the life of the party. Not everyone has to go solo either.

It is perfectly all right to be as you are.

If you like your solitude, like it.

If you like your eggs fried sunny side-up, that’s fine. If you like your eggs in a omelet, so be it.

The theme for today is that you do not have to aspire to be like everyone else any more than you have to aspire to be different from everyone else. It could be that everyone else is trying to keep up with his or her own picture of everyone else. They may have left themselves somewhere along the way. Of course, you may desire to be a middle of the roader. Hey, this is up to you.

You don’t have to be other than you are. It is not what everyone else or anyone else thinks of you that matters. It’s what you think of yourself that matters. Chances are, you are the one who thinks you have to keep up appearances even when keeping up appearances may not bring you joy.

Since when is keeping up with styles, for instance, the making of you?

Perhaps you like to wear make-up. Perhaps you don’t. Magazines who advertise make-up are going to tout wearing make-up. If wearing make-up makes you feel good, wear it. If putting on make-up is too much trouble for you, don’t put it on then. All are One, yet all do not have to be identical in the vast world. Even if you are the only one, even if no one else is in the same category of yourself, who is it who says that this way or that way is the making of you? No one else is to vote on how you live your life. You are the voter of your own life.

Look, if you prefer to live in a jungle near the Amazon, why not? If you prefer to live in New York City, who has more say in the matter than you, dear ones?

How much does public opinion mean? One election year a presidential candidate is voted in. The next year he isn’t. Are you someone who changes himself into what seems to be what the world wants at particular time, or are you simply to be you? And why not, beloveds? Why not, while you live on Earth, find out what is meaningful to you? And be it? You do not have to prove anything either way. You are in process of discovering yourself who may be hidden away under various costumes that you were hardly aware of.

Everything out in the world is a choice you make. Make your choices be your choices.

There is no law that says you have to be this or that. Perhaps you have not even thought. Perhaps you would walk in a different direction, yet a crowd going in a mass direction has overrun you and swept you up as if a strong wind propelled you along.

It really is all right for you to think for yourself and be who you are OR to find out who you are. Too many of My children are swallowed up and live their whole lives the way somebody says, and, so, they forget their own volition and their own nature or never catch up to it.

This is not to say that it is not fine to be in a crowd when this is what you want. One isn’t better than another. That is the very point I want to make.

You could be just right for yourself even when you are the only one. You don’t have to be anything but what you are.

Who are you?
