“When you have to advertise your uniqueness constantly, you become very fragile.” – Richard Rohr on the Liturgist Podcast

Advertise = Describe or draw attention to in a public medium in order to promote sales or attendance.

What are we promoting when we advertise our uniqueness? 

A certain identity we hope others see.

The alternative to our insecurity we hide.

More here but requires deep thinking…

Where do I sense the need to display and make clear my uniqueness?

At what spaces in my life do I sense this desire inside myself?

I should confront those spaces with authority. The authority which I do not need to advertise my uniqueness. There is a truth of who I am which does not need advertising.

My people know this. If I am not confident of that I need to invest more in my people and myself.

Why does uniqueness matter so much to me?

More on this question to come.
