You are a unique being. There is no-one quite like you on the planet. In fact, there has never been anyone quite like you on the planet – ever!
Think about that for a moment. You may have characteristics that are similar to someone else, and you may have skills that are matched by someone else. But there is no-one else who has all of the same elements in exactly the same mix.
So it stands to reason that if you are unique, then there is something unforgettable about you. But do you know what it is? It may be your energy level that sparks ideas in others. It may be your calm quiet way of setting people at ease.
On the other hand, it could be a short temper, a biting tongue, or a regular habit of procrastinating. Just because your unique combination of qualities isn’t shared with anyone else, doesn’t mean you’re stuck with the thing that makes you unforgettable. You can choose to change what people remember about you if you don’t like it. But it may take effort and it certainly takes knowing what it is that makes you unforgettable.
Should you be brave and ask a few trusted people what qualities they associate with you? Go on – you may be pleasantly surprised.
