How to make yourself unique?

Disclaimer: Being unique is a positive connotation and it does not mean to do what you please for the sake of your happiness.

“Being Unique in every way is beauty in its own respect”!

According to a report published on Forbes- There are only 500-1000 unique individuals in the world . That lands you to a probability of 0.00001% of being unique! Tough competition isn’t it?

“OMG! You are so different and your mind works uniquely!” Don't you want to hear these words for yourself? Don't you want to think completely out of the box or do something that is all the way beneficial for you as well as for others?

What is being unique and how is one different from another?

The simple answer is that being unique comprises personality, life experiences, knowledge, and emotions. Every person has their own views and perspective, largely fueled by what they have experienced in life. Also, the physical aspect and features like fingerprints, DNA, face, and so on. So, you are scientifically unique but the vital part is to be unique in your personality and thoughts which is tough because we want to fit in a particular group or we want to impress people and make them like us that we lose our uniqueness in the process.

However, people often confuse being unique with doing something unusual or drastic. No, you can be unique by just being YOU.

You must have heard that every person is unique in their own ways and to keep that uniqueness alive it is important to realize and analyze who you are and what are your needs, likes, and dislikes. It is about understanding yourself better so that you do not compromise on being you.

It is so easy to get influenced and do what your peers are doing to just fit in their group that you lose your qualities which are a sign of uniqueness.

What are the traits of a unique person? 4 things that make a person unique -

1. Personality – We often say he/she has a very strong personality. What do we mean by that? We mean that the person is strong, confident, and ready to represent their views without feeling what others would think or how would they react. Personality is something that is molded from birth to the present moment. Every experience, triumph, failure, and decision can mold a personality differently. No one will make the same choices that the other person makes. This makes you unique.

2. Attitude – People often love being around you or do they find ways/excuses to avoid you? It all depends upon your attitude. It is one of the most underrated qualities of being unique. Attitude can speak a lot about a person and how they perceive life, it can change the most negative of situations into something very positive.

3. Experiences – How do you perceive the world or how do you make a choice between decisions? It all depends on your past and present experiences. Your experiences are something that no one in the world can have. It is solely yours. The way you felt during an event cannot be felt the same by someone else. Your experiences make you unique and different from others.

4. Habits – We are often taught in schools and at home about good habits and bad habits. Our habits define what kind of a unique person we develop into. It is being instilled within us from the very beginning. Forming healthy habits improve your mental and physical well-being which contributes to the overall growth and positive outlook.

What makes a person different from all others are not these things by themselves, but the combination of these things that only you have.

The qualities that make every person a unique and interesting individual can be honed, improved upon, and made to grow as we continue our life’s journey.

You must be thinking about why it is important to be unique? Well, imagine if two leading Bollywood actresses land up in an event wearing the same dress. What will be your reaction? Forget about celebs, imagine yourself in a position where you are excited to buy something exclusive but when you show it off to your peers and they all have it! You will be disappointed! Right?
