Did These Flamingo Quotes Help You Appreciate Your Own Quirks and Unique Qualities?
Flamingos are one of the most unique birds you can ever find. You just have to stop and marvel at the sight of them. One thing that’s so special about them is they stand and sleep on one leg. Their body seems so disproportionate and you’d think they wouldn’t be able to handle their own weight, but they can.
The same with life, it might seem that we’re so different from others—that we may be weaker and frailer compared to others. But we should remember that we shouldn’t compare ourselves at all. We’re all unique in our own special ways and we’re made to be able to overcome whatever it is we may face in life.
Like flamingos, we aren’t so fragile to crumble on our own weight and on the weight that the world brings us. We just have to remember to stand on our own two feet and do our best to hold ourselves up every time.
