Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?
If you took the strengths of others and compared them to your weaknesses, how would you think you’d size up? Do you think this would make you feel good?
The funny thing is this is what most of has done at one time or another.
It’s a surefire way for a drop in self-confidence and unhappiness. It’s also not useful.
Whether it’s another person an animal or even an inanimate object there is no point. It will only drag you down and isn’t healthy.
It is also not who God created any of us to be. It’s important to be able to look at your own strengths and see your true value. It’s actually one of the keys to success, because without this ability, you will be unmotivated and won’t believe in yourself.
The fact that God created us to be ourselves, to be unique in our own way is a gift I do not take for granted.
We can waste our lives away wanting to be someone or something else. Be you. Be unique.
