The Simplest And Most Powerful Post You Will Ever Read
Welcome to the simplest and most powerful post you will ever read.
Simple because it contains only one piece of wisdom. Powerful as it’s an age-old insight that can change a life and last a lifetime. Make someone a hero or help them be found. Bring them back from the brink injecting life beyond measure, or come alive like never before.
One phrase that can move mountains. Withstand adversity. Signal power and energy. Show love and inspire others. A short but highly magical phrase with a spirit and destiny all of its own. Where fate meets opportunity.
It covers everyone and anyone. Wherever they live. Whatever they do. How much or little they have. It goes beyond sex and colour. Beyond race and creed. Religious belief, culture and society, politics and history too. It sees all as equal. As unique and magnificent as the next. As beautiful and serene as the most glorious masterpiece or picturesque natural landscape.
It is free and accessible, all encompassing and inclusive. No-one will be untouched by it. None left out. Or discarded for any reason. It is worldwide and universal. Cosmic and spiritual some would say. Yet as gentle as a budding flower and as majestic as a delicate butterfly.
What is this piece of wisdom?
What is this phrase so invincible that it can change the very face of this Earth?
Be You!
You are a true God walking. A living breathing miracle worker. Within you is genius sleeping. Brilliance like no other just waiting to be found. To be recognised and allowed to show itself. To be free to be. To be awakened and shared with others. In all you do. In everything you are. In every day in every way that you live. Your greatest self. Your priceless never-to-be-found-elsewhere self.
You are special and wonderful. A diamond. The best there is. You are unique, just like everyone else. And you can do anything your heart desires by using that heart. Because you make a difference. You always have. It’s just that you didn’t know it. Now you do. So, go now and show the world what you’ve got. Who you are. Be that amazing person. And shine.
Go! Be you. It’s what the whole world needs and has long been waiting for!

This truly is the best advice we could receive. It reminds me of the quote (I forget who said it) to be you because everyone else is already taken.
Absolutely Jean! It’s amazing how many people we can be other than ourselves. As the famous saying advises; be yourself as everybody else is taken.
Hey John,
Lots of great wisdom wrapped up in those two litte words. It’s often the simplest message that gets lost as we try to complicate our lives with so much rubbish. Back to basics. Back to who you really are. Great advice.

Two words can be as powerful as an hour’s inspirational speech Karen. It just depends what those words are. These two would be hard to beat!!!
I love what Jean shared above — Be You, because everyone else is taken! The trick is in stripping away the years of being what others expected you to be and a lifetime of pretending to be someone you were not to find out just who you really are! And then to actively decide — with every step, every word and every decision — to go forward as you, your authentic self. Totally worth the journey. Thanks!
Very true Maggie, being ourself takes letting go of a person others have made us, expect us, controlled or try to keep hold of. At first it’s a bit unnerving but like everyone coming out of a long imprisonment the new world seems scary. Until you realise you are 100% free, then it’s all systems go!
a simply POWERFUL post, John.
Bless you Aileen, said with real warm honesty. Always appreciated from you x
Not much to add to that, John! It is one of the greatest challenges we face: being YOU when the world-voice wants us to be anything but.
Maybe life’s ultimate challenge Rob? We think it’s climbing mountains, trekking deserts, and conquering space but the real, life-changing journey is inside to visit the uncharted territory that is our own genius sleeping. Never mind 101 things to do before you die – do 1 great thing NOW while you are alive! Be you.
OK!
Seriously, good post John:-).
Stephen, welcome and your words are simple and heartfelt. I wish you joy my friend.
I couldn’t agree more. And, fortunately, the older I get the more I seem to become me.
Wonderful Madeleine, what more could you ask for? Your dreams are coming true.
hello john

thanks for sharing this and i absolutely loved the introduction.
i’ve always held this opinion why be someone else when you can be YOU constructively.
have a lovely bank holiday weekend.
Ayo, I can honestly say that I view you as YOU. You have discovered your purpose and it’s written all over your face! Be blessed.
Hi

I’m me…God walking, talking and breathing me. Thanks for reminding me that I have permission to be me;)
A fab comment from God, thank you. Tess you ARE the permission for all you do so go rock the world. I wish you every dream that you are and will be!
