I’m very intrigued by how most people want to be like other people, thinking that there’s such a thing as a ‘best’ out there, a ‘best’ that always looks, sounds and feels the same. What most of us fail to see and understand is that what we should strive to do is be the ‘best’ based on our own personal traits, talents and gifts.

The problems is we are too busy looking at others and feeling jealous, such that we miss the chance to look at ourselves and discover the things that make us truly unique… these things that would instantly make us ‘best’ at what we’re meant to be doing.

While some of us are the ‘best’ in math, languages, or science, the rest of us can and should be ‘best’ at cooking, talking, smiling, giving a good massage, acting, playing the violin, creating games or guarding a store.

We can shine, all of us can, we just need to find our own way and area of shining!

Because, as a good friend of mine says, if we were all meant to be the same, there wouldn’t be 7 billion people on this planet… there would be only ONE!

So go out there and SHINE, in whatever you are meant to be shining!

My favorite line? The one that comes after “Why am I different from others?”, of course! 🙂
