Welcome to Love Knows from Rhonda.

Speaker A

And I want to remind you of something that I know you've heard a million, thousand, trillion times.

Speaker A

And I don't know, though, if you've ever really taken it in.

Speaker A

See, cliches are cliches because they're true.

Speaker A

But the challenge with cliches is that we blow them off.

Speaker A

We don't take them seriously.

Speaker A

We don't actually dive deep into what they really mean.

Speaker A

So here's a cliche, yet one that is very, very true.

Speaker A

There is only one you.

Speaker A

There is only ever going to be one you.

Speaker A

There is nobody that is ever going to be able to take your place.

Speaker A

There is nobody.

Speaker A

Nobody that can be you except you.

Speaker A

You've probably heard the saying, you know, be yourself because everyone else is taken.

Speaker A

And 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 A

Nobody is going to think exactly like you.

Speaker A

Nobody is going to have the exact needs and desires as you.

Speaker A

Nobody is going to have all of that together in one package.

Speaker A

No one's going to look like you, smell like you, love like you, play like you, have joy like you.

Speaker A

Nobody.

Speaker A

There's nobody like you.

Speaker A

Now, this is the one of the reasons that sometimes we may feel alone in the world, right?

Speaker A

Because there's only one one of us like us, right?

Speaker A

So, 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 A

And that's normal.

Speaker A

But 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 A

And there may be moments in your life where you are melding with another.

Speaker A

And that's awesome and wonderful, yet I don't think that's the point.

Speaker A

See, the point is actually for you to meld with yourself, to really claim that there is only one of me.

Speaker A

To really own it, to believe it, to take it and start chewing on it and saying, yes, there is only one of me.

Speaker A

See, 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 A

And now I'm asking the question again.

Speaker A

What is it that I'm meant to do in this world?

Speaker A

What is it that's mine to do?

Speaker A

What is it that is the unique combination of all that is me that I am meant to express.

Speaker A

And I know I have things to say.

Speaker A

And oh, by the way, so do you.

Speaker A

Maybe 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 A

Your voice matters.

Speaker A

Your 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 A

You are meant to fulfill.

Speaker A

You being you, your destiny, you.

Speaker A

I mean, just really take it in that there is nobody like you but you.

Speaker A

Now, 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 A

What experiences?

Speaker A

What insights?

Speaker A

What aha's, what journey?

Speaker A

What?

Speaker A

I'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 A

Yes, this is part and parcel of who I am.

Speaker A

There is only one you in all the universe for all time.

Speaker A

And you have a part to play in the unfolding of the destiny of this world.

Speaker A

And I'm asking you right now, are you engaged in that destiny?

Speaker A

Are you saying yes to that destiny?

Speaker A

Even though you may or may not know what that is?

Speaker A

If you're crying, are you fully allowing yourself to cry?

Speaker A

If you're joyful, are you fully allowing and embracing the joy within?

Speaker A

Are you allowing the flow of feelings and thoughts to move through you?

Speaker A

And 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 A

You are so much more than that.

Speaker A

There is only one you.

Speaker A

So ask yourself, if you were to claim that there was only one of you for all time, what are you called to do?

Speaker A

How are you called to show up?

Speaker A

What are you called to voice?

Speaker A

The things that matter to you, matter to others.

Speaker A

What matters to you, matters to others.

Speaker A

Today, 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 A

And you absolutely have a destiny to fulfill.

Speaker A

So claim it, know it, honor it, wherever you are on that journey, right?

Speaker A

Sometimes my destiny was in my dark night.

Speaker A

And sometimes my destiny was speaking.

Speaker A

Speaking to crowds of thousands.

Speaker A

Both of those things are part of my destiny.

Speaker A

The unfoldment of the life that I am true to.

Speaker A

That is true for me.

Speaker A

Own it, my friend.

Speaker A

Own you.

Speaker A

Because there's only one of you that will ever be.

Speaker A

Until next time, be fearless.

Speaker A

I love you, Sa.
