“Probably, as soon as I show up they will make fun of me and my long, grey tail. They will probably use my feathers to sweep their dirty floors. What a tragic destiny!” And the peacock started to cry.

“Silly, they will use your feathers to decorate their homes and even their outfits. Stop crying! Be more appreciative. You irritate Me! I did it with Love. I was creating a real masterpiece. Turn back to the mirror and open your tail!”

The peacock stopped crying and followed the Higher order.

Wow! Is it me?!” Now he was in shock from the beauty he saw in the mirror’s reflection. “Is it truly me, Creator?! Please, send me down as soon as possible! I want to show the world Your wonderful work!” And he started to laugh from happiness and satisfaction.

I believe that each of us has his own hidden gift-tail which is only necessary to unfold and show to the world the wonderful work of our Creator. And also: “Be yourself, as everyone else is taken.”
