Mark Twain said, “The two most important days in life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.”
Oprah Winfrey believes, “Each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint.”
Edwin Elliot added, “By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before” and, like your fingerprints, can never exist again.
To realize your wonderful, unique, never-before-never-again you, Dr. Maulena Karenga suggests asking yourself:
- Who am I?
- Am I really who I am?
- Am I all I ought to be?
One way to discover unique qualities is to recall how you loved spending time as a child. Read more
Life Hack’s 5-Minute Quiz provides great insights. Valuable because, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
And remember Oscar Wilde’s advice: Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Eleanor’s Insights Collection
Succeed and Soar’s “Eleanor’s Insights” series is illustrated with photographs of ‘wild places.’This week’s image was taken in Glen Canyon, Utah, an amazing world. HooDoos are sandstone sculpted by freeze-thaw cycles and rain. They range from five to one-hundred-fifty feet high and erode at the rate of two to four feet per century. The more durable are fortified with dolomite.
On my circuit from and back to Grand Junction, Colorado [in time to catch the Amtrak home], got to see the “Nefertiti” HooDoo, “Three Gossips,” this grouping and more. Wow!
Art is available as prints, framed and on canvas as well as on journals, greeting cards, weekender bags, shower curtains, puzzles and much more.
