We are Different
Life could be considered complicated on so many levels. Living in a world with more than 1 billion people it can be extremely difficult to learn how to embrace oneself. Everyone’s looking at each other and trying to create a better society by copying other people’s ways with the hope that it will make themselves better.
I truly believe we should learn from others but never try to become them. There’s a lot we can learn from successful people but we should be very intentional to ensure we’re still discovering and maximizing our own uniqueness.
Today, I want to remind you to never allow anyone to transfer their hang-ups and baggage to you. Be careful of the people you hang around. We often allow people to divert their issues and dysfunction onto us. This occurs a lot when you don’t take the time to identify who you truly are. It is critical we learn to set boundaries. Your goal is to learn how to live life effectively. You have choose not to accept responsibility for someone else’s drama or shortcomings.
It was a beautiful day for me when I came to accept the fact that I was created different in comparison to all of the incredible people on this planet.
Think about this for a few minutes.
We see differently.
We hear differently.
We think differently.
We process differently.
We interpret differently.
We talk differently.
We act differently.
We’re all different! It’s time for you to embrace the fact that you were created different and know it’s okay! In Romans 12:4 it says:
“For we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another."
Over the past few years I’ve fallen in love with the size of my head, the size of my shoes and the difference in the way I speak. The more I embrace my difference, the more successful I’ve become. Nobody can beat me being me!
I don’t compare myself with other people anymore. I don’t compete with anyone else. I don’t determine my value by what other people think of me anymore. I don't seek approval or acceptance from anyone, anymore.
It feels really, really good to be ME. It feels really good to be FREE of trying to be everyone else around me.
