Not A Race; Not A Competition

We always need to understand the fact that we are neither in a race against any other person, nor are we competing with someone else. Sometimes, what you see about others are just small fragments of what they want every other person to see, and not the real deal about themselves. So competing against them would be competing unfairly.

The truth is; more often than not, when we compare ourselves with people, we are only comparing our weaknesses with the areas where their major strength lies. Why not comparing your own strength with their weakness?

The truth is; there is something that you have that every other person would give an eye to have, and that is why we need to value every bit of the real "us". Your uniqueness does not lie in when you want to be like everyone else, but it lies in your difference.

Of course, when you attempt to be like someone, you would never be as original and unique as them, you would only be a "photocopy". You should also understand the fact that you would only shine brighter when you are in your own track.

In a race; for example; no matter how fast you run on a lane that is not yours, you would never win the race, but be disqualified. As long as you are not in your path, struggles might be inevitable. But you will only find ease when you trail your own paths - just like fishes would not need to fast and pray to learn how to swim. You would discover that what you have been praying about is something you would find ease at doing when you discover your paths.
