Everyone has a unique truth, a purpose… a destiny. No one was born to merely occupy space, we were all designed and uniquely “wired” to add a certain value to the earth. Biology teaches us that our growth, development and functionality is controlled by a set of instructions encoded in our DNA. This means that our physical appearance and abilities are predetermined and indeed defined by our DNA. It is interesting to note that no two people have the same DNA. This means that your DNA is unique to you; it’s the reason you do not share the same thumbprint with any other human being. Within your DNA is encoded a script that dictates how your body operates.

Don’t worry, my post today isn’t about biology, I just need you to understand that you were born with a “script” encoded within… within your heart is your Truth, the DNA with the encoded instructions necessary to ensure that you fulfill your unique purpose. Now, the fact that you may be unaware of this Truth is not proof that it does not exist. Sadly, in our world today, not many people are aware of their Truth, they have adopted the truth of their circumstances, their friends or family, the society or even their fears. Little wonder most people live unfulfilled and unexciting lives but this can change for you if you take the time to search for and find your truth.

One interesting thing about this is that whether we know it or not, just like the physical DNA, our Truths still have influence over our lives. Finding it simply eliminates the confusion and the fears (of uncertainty and rejection) we feel, when we get to crossroads where we have to choose between our Truths screaming for expression and the many truths we have picked up in ignorance. This is not to say that we shouldn’t learn from others or submit ourselves to training but we must ensure that the training and lessons we learn are simply additions… enhancers to enable us express the truths in our hearts.

So, what’s the way forward?
Find your truth. What makes you unique and “weird” to others? What comes naturally to you? What irks you? These give you pointers to what lies deep inside you.
When you find your truth, establish it in your heart. Reiterate it, speak it to yourself over and over again till it sinks inside you. And even in moments of self doubt, always remind yourself that you are unique and different from the rest of the crowd.
Then, live your truth… even when society and the people around do not understand you. Truth is, they do not have to understand you for you to be valid. This is what it means to live from the inside out. This is what it means to be authentic. Add your uniqueness to the world.
Embrace your Super Power
