The Only One

“You do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only one who does what you do.”
~Jerry Garcia~

There’s only one you.

Not a better version of someone else. Not a polished copy of what the world said you should be. Just you — with your weird laugh, your particular way of seeing things, your specific kind of broken and beautiful.

That’s not a consolation prize. That’s the whole point.

Nobody else can do what you do. Not because you’re the best. Because you’re the only one.

Thought for the Day
Stop auditioning for a role that was already cast. You got the part.
