You are unique for a reason.

I couldn't make an article yesterday and I wasn't happy about it, I was at fault and also not at fault.

The weather yesterday was too hot and it made me uncomfortable and less productive both offline and online. To make things worse there was no electricity which I needed to power my fan, charge my device, and also change the ponds water, I hate seeing the fish struggle in dirty whatever. Aside from the terrible odor it causes, it is not healthy for the fish.

I was physically and mentally unstable thinking about everything so taking my bath like every hour was the only option for me which I gladly did until my brother secretly locked the pipe bringing water into the house and it complicated issues for me because I thought we ran out of water at home as well.

Power was restored around 4 pm, you need to see how excited I was. I plugged my phone and ran straight to the farm but they ceased power after draining the water in the pond. I had nightmares over the night and it looked like they were coming to reality already as I was looking at the fish, I called the generator man and he said he has rented them out.

I went back home not knowing what to do, I took my phone to engage immediately I got home but I couldn't concentrate. The small fishes might be able to ensure even though the big can go 6 straight hours without water as long the environment is cool.

At 6 pm, electricity was restored so I ran off again with the hopes of pumping a little before they ceased it again but it didn't turn out the other way, I was able to flush completely and pump all the ponds to my satisfaction. I finished pumping at 10 pm so I waited for an hour before I could feed them so it was almost midnight before I got home.

Too tired to cook, I decided to purchase food from the vendor in a bar on my street since I was hungry because I ate only a few slices of fried yam for breakfast.

The rice was good and I even got some drink to relax with when engaging online after my meal but the rice filled my belly that I was unable to take the drink.

Since I couldn't do anything else, I decided to watch a movie which turned out to be the best part of my day. I didn't intentionally watch it, I needed to wait after dinner so that the food will digest to avoid constipation.

The movie is titled, "Clifford The Red Big Dog".

What would you have done if your little puppy turns a giant dog over the night?

I am not writing to narrate a movie but I will be sharing some lessons I got from the movie. I do say that we humans are unique as an individual, we have differences that we might not even notice but there are people who see it.

A lot of people who know their uniqueness sometimes hide it from the world because we feel rejected even before exposing that unique thing to the world, while some hide it because probably the few people who have seen it didn't like or say shitty things about us. That shouldn't be the case, you are unique for a purpose and if you think your uniqueness is a curse to you, understand today that it is a blessing to some people because they cherish what you or need what you have so they will love to have you around or hang around.

As a writer, do you have a particular style of writing? Probably you are great at writing fiction and people don't like reading stories so you quit writing it for something else, the truth is that you have deprived someone who enjoys it from reading your amazing content.

Accept that you are unique.

People carry lots of gifts and do not accept they are unique because people are not talking about them, the thing is that you can't expect people to accept what you don't value in yourself.

There are times in life when you need to call your treasure a treasure before people will look in your direction, you have to appreciate yourself before the world will do.

You're different for a reason.

You might not discover the purpose of your uniqueness and that doesn't mean that the difference is there for nothing, If you don't hide it, the purpose will emerge someday and you will be amazed that you possess something very valuable in the world.

Don't hide that unique thing about you.

Many hide their uniqueness and expect the world to embrace it, is it possible to admire what you don't know?

Even though not everyone would appreciate it, that doesn't stop you from presenting it to the world. Those who will appreciate it will do and you will amaze at the kind of love that will be bestowed on you.

Work on your difference, grow your uniqueness.

We are all open to growth and whatever we possess doesn't end there, we must give ourselves in to growth.

That alone can help us achieve greater things with our differences, we mustn't shut the door to grow on ourselves.

Thanks for reading.
