“Learn everything that is good from others, but bring it in, and in your own way absorb it; do not become others.”
~ Swami Vivekananda
Every religion, every teaching, has goodness and truths. There’s nothing new out there. In all these thoughts and quotes we share, not one is unique. But it may just be, my friend, that your voice brings new meaning to them, or that someone comes along and expresses them in a way that finally makes perfect sense to you.
Run everything through your own filters. Take what’s good, what works, and incorporate it into your life. Leave the rest behind. Be open to all avenues and know that each will somehow provide its gem.
You are what’s unique, my friend. Keep it that way.
