Volume 02, Issue 38: You Are One-of-a-Kind

Do you struggle with accepting who you are, wondering why you are not like someone else you know? Do you speculate why you like the things you like, do things the way you do, different from other people around you?

Sometimes we struggle with people’s opinion of who we are, what we do or how we do things. We are compared to people around us, who seem to be doing things better than we are. Well, unless you border on mediocrity, they are not really better, just different. Do you struggle with people’s expectations of how you should do your work, business, ministry, and life in general?

Well, you are not supposed to be like anyone else, or do things exactly the way the person next to you does. God did not make you who you are just so you can be like someone else.

The expression of who you are is not supposed to be exactly like that of others. Don’t waste your life comparing yourself to others, or trying to conform to other people’s expectations of who you should be. Focus on being the best you can be and doing your own work well.

You are God’s handcrafted work of art. You are not an assembly-line product, mass produced without thought. You are custom-designed, one-of-a kind, original masterpiece. God deliberately fashioned you to make your contribution unique.

Being yourself is the secret of both fruitfulness and fulfillment in your work and life. You are most effective when you use your abilities in the area of your passion in a way that best expresses your personality and experiences.
