Jan 29 Differences

Some people seem to think that the Creator made a mistake in making us all different. They work hard to correct that mistake, trying to make us all alike.
Many of us spend a lot of energy trying to measure up to someone else. But those who try to be just like someone else can’t be as good as the original. They can never be more than a good imitation.
If you’re trying to be someone else, you will miss an opportunity to find out who you can be, what you can do. The world will have to live without the contribution that could be made only by a person with your talents, abilities, and history. If you are trying to be someone else, nobody will ever be you.
Today, ask yourself this question: Am I trying to measure up to someone else?
