Welcome to Love Knows from Rhonda.
Speaker AAnd I want to remind you of something that I know you've heard a million, thousand, trillion times.
Speaker AAnd I don't know, though, if you've ever really taken it in.
Speaker ASee, cliches are cliches because they're true.
Speaker ABut the challenge with cliches is that we blow them off.
Speaker AWe don't take them seriously.
Speaker AWe don't actually dive deep into what they really mean.
Speaker ASo here's a cliche, yet one that is very, very true.
Speaker AThere is only one you.
Speaker AThere is only ever going to be one you.
Speaker AThere is nobody that is ever going to be able to take your place.
Speaker AThere is nobody.
Speaker ANobody that can be you except you.
Speaker AYou've probably heard the saying, you know, be yourself because everyone else is taken.
Speaker AAnd I really invite you to just stop for a minute and take a deep breath and own the fact that there is literally only ever going to be one you.
Speaker ANobody is going to think exactly like you.
Speaker ANobody is going to have the exact needs and desires as you.
Speaker ANobody is going to have all of that together in one package.
Speaker ANo one's going to look like you, smell like you, love like you, play like you, have joy like you.
Speaker ANobody.
Speaker AThere's nobody like you.
Speaker ANow, this is the one of the reasons that sometimes we may feel alone in the world, right?
Speaker ABecause there's only one one of us like us, right?
Speaker ASo, like, we may not feel connected to certain people, and when we do feel connected, we're only connected in certain parts of our lives.
Speaker AAnd that's normal.
Speaker ABut we all, I think, search for that melding, that union with one person, feeling completely whole and complete, feeling like you're really seen and understood and somebody can see and understand you to a certain point.
Speaker AAnd there may be moments in your life where you are melding with another.
Speaker AAnd that's awesome and wonderful, yet I don't think that's the point.
Speaker ASee, the point is actually for you to meld with yourself, to really claim that there is only one of me.
Speaker ATo really own it, to believe it, to take it and start chewing on it and saying, yes, there is only one of me.
Speaker ASee, I've been asking myself recently and I've asked myself this question for decades, and it has led me to fearless living, led me to everything that I've ever done in my life.
Speaker AAnd now I'm asking the question again.
Speaker AWhat is it that I'm meant to do in this world?
Speaker AWhat is it that's mine to do?
Speaker AWhat is it that is the unique combination of all that is me that I am meant to express.
Speaker AAnd I know I have things to say.
Speaker AAnd oh, by the way, so do you.
Speaker AMaybe not the same form that I do them in, but your voice is equally as important as mine, as equally important as anybody else's voice out there.
Speaker AYour voice matters.
Speaker AYour heart and your light matter, they are a piece of the puzzle of this world that must be unleashed, must shine, so that the puzzle can be complete.
Speaker AYou are meant to fulfill.
Speaker AYou being you, your destiny, you.
Speaker AI mean, just really take it in that there is nobody like you but you.
Speaker ANow, if you really took that in, if you really just breathe that in and tuck it in, what would you be called to do?
Speaker AWhat experiences?
Speaker AWhat insights?
Speaker AWhat aha's, what journey?
Speaker AWhat?
Speaker AI'm just gonna say day to day living is yours to share, is yours to own, is yours to claim, is yours to say.
Speaker AYes, this is part and parcel of who I am.
Speaker AThere is only one you in all the universe for all time.
Speaker AAnd you have a part to play in the unfolding of the destiny of this world.
Speaker AAnd I'm asking you right now, are you engaged in that destiny?
Speaker AAre you saying yes to that destiny?
Speaker AEven though you may or may not know what that is?
Speaker AIf you're crying, are you fully allowing yourself to cry?
Speaker AIf you're joyful, are you fully allowing and embracing the joy within?
Speaker AAre you allowing the flow of feelings and thoughts to move through you?
Speaker AAnd knowing that you are all of that and none of that, because you are so much more than any belief, feeling, thought, body, sensation that you've ever had.
Speaker AYou are so much more than that.
Speaker AThere is only one you.
Speaker ASo ask yourself, if you were to claim that there was only one of you for all time, what are you called to do?
Speaker AHow are you called to show up?
Speaker AWhat are you called to voice?
Speaker AThe things that matter to you, matter to others.
Speaker AWhat matters to you, matters to others.
Speaker AToday, I invite you to take a deep breath and start owning that there is really only one of you and there will never be another.
Speaker AAnd you absolutely have a destiny to fulfill.
Speaker ASo claim it, know it, honor it, wherever you are on that journey, right?
Speaker ASometimes my destiny was in my dark night.
Speaker AAnd sometimes my destiny was speaking.
Speaker ASpeaking to crowds of thousands.
Speaker ABoth of those things are part of my destiny.
Speaker AThe unfoldment of the life that I am true to.
Speaker AThat is true for me.
Speaker AOwn it, my friend.
Speaker AOwn you.
Speaker ABecause there's only one of you that will ever be.
Speaker AUntil next time, be fearless.
Speaker AI love you, Sa.
