Don\u2019t try to be like other people. Don\u2019t try to do things like them. Be yourself. One of the reasons why some people are unsuccessful at who they are and what they do is because they try to be like others. We can only be successful at being who we are. We\u2019re all unique individuals. Trying to be like someone else is like a duck trying to be a squirrel. This is impossible! Is it any wonder we often disappoint ourselves?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of us have not even scratched the surface on how special we are. That\u2019s because we\u2019ve spent most of our lives chasing the wind by trying to be and do things like other people. Don\u2019t get me wrong; we should learn from others. Their success should inspire us to make something of ourselves, and their mistakes should dissuade us from making nothing of ourselves. However, how we go about applying what we learn from other individuals does not have to be exactly like the way they applied their learning experiences.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying that we should reinvent the wheel; if need be, we should renovate it. Some people don\u2019t feel good about themselves because they\u2019ve been comparing themselves to others. That is why some people feel that they are not beautiful. It\u2019s been said that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. We need to be the beholder of ourselves.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to be beautiful, you need to be-you-to-full. Be yourself to the fullest. Be the unique person God created you to be. You\u2019re beautiful! Behold your beauty! Behold yourself! God\u2019s masterpiece. You are God\u2019s masterpiece because you\u2019re a piece of the Master. Genesis 1:26 revealed that God created you like Himself. You are a piece of God\u2014the Master\u2019s piece.<\/span><\/p>\n
