Being a Unicorn - part II

They said I could be anything so I chose to be a unicorn - p

So, why do I want to be a unicorn? Why would anyone want to be identified as a unicorn? A mystical being, unique, shining, brilliant, and very special!!! I want to be unique and shining and special!! Don’t all of us want that? Deep inside does anyone want to be bland and average? NO - we all view ourselves as having some special aspects!!!

I don’t want to imply that I am that special. (Remember Micah 6:8 - God wants us to love justice, show mercy and be humble). Unique - yes, but, no, I need to keep my ego in check!!

So, let’s look at the last six from the article.

-6 Take uneasy action!!

Huh?

From the article: “If you’re imbalanced towards your feminine side and tend to procrastinate a lot, schedule time to take uneasy action towards your life purpose. This is an action that is attainable but feels uncomfortable, meaning you must push yourself to grow.”

If you want to be unique there are times you HAVE to move outside your comfort zone. That can be tough. You do have to push yourself - don’t be complacent - it might be uncomfortable - but if you want to be unique you have to move!!!

If I don’t push myself, I can easily slide back into my comfort zone, and then I can shrink myself even farther. I like the adage “The turtle only makes progress by sticking its head out”

-7 Dance

Hey, Unicorns dance - they shimmer, they show off their special horns and properties. The article says “Your body is a physical extension of your Unicorn soul, and by shifting your attention out of your mind and into your body through dance, you encourage the flow of your soul’s energy, letting it move you into a balanced state.”

Mentally you can be a Unicorn - you can imagine yourself shining - but you have to get out of the floor and really dance.

-8 Drink Alicorn water

Okay, this is a little strange. The concept is that to be unique - you need to make all aspects of your life unique!! The suggestion is to aim your horn at an ordinary glass of water and mentally imagine you are drinking a magical potion.

But, we do need to mentally imagine ourselves as unique beings. We need to associate ourselves as catalysts. The dictionary says “a catalyst is an agent that provokes or speeds significant change or action” Can I assist myself and others in making positive changes?

-9 Be authentic.

Hey - if you (or I) want to be unique (that is, to be a Unicorn) you need to change if you are truly unique (and authentic) or if you are faking it!!! I have a (new) sign in my living room “Be Yourself. You’re so damn good at it”!! (Thanks RW//SW/NB)

-10 Create a unicorn altar.

Okay, this point spooks me a little. I view this as basically having something to remind you of being unique (and therefore - a Unicorn) is good.

But, on the other hand, motivation is good!! I have Post-It notes around my apartment - like “Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”

Okay, so, I’ve looked at the concept of being a “Unicorn” for two days. I do want to be unique and this is an approach to mentally imaging myself as different and special.

I can view myself as a Unicorn, or an ugly lizard. I can be a princess or an ogre. Keeping a positive line to myself as a shining, unique, mystical person can cause me to keep my head up!!!

Okay, I started this as an interesting topic. Not sure if I am successful in moving myself ahead in this topic!!

Hugs!!
