Never underestimate yourself

   

Why Would Anybody Want To Be The Same? 

Why would we want to compare ourselves to others? What is the point? Many people in our world and I know for a fact that they are out there have compared themselves to someone else at least once, twice, or maybe many times before. Whether it be kids comparing themselves to other kids,coworkers comparing themselves to other coworkers, or family members comparing themselves to other family members. All of us do it; it's kind of hard not to and sometimes we may be doing it unconsciously. I will be the first to admit that I have done it on more than  one occasion. 

My Situation 

In school, mainly through elementary and middle school I use to wish that I could fit in like the other kids, be creative like the other kids, and on some occasions I wished I could be as outgoing as my sister. I always compared myself to others.  I was the disabled kid;who other kids really didn't understand or even took the time to get to know me. I had one best friend who stuck by my side and understood and accepted me for who I am, a friend that I still talk to once in a while. I use to worry more about what kids thought of me and always tried to be like them. After a while I forgot who I was meant  to be in this world. My disability had become so intertwined with my daily life that most of the time, if not all the time I forgot I even had a disability.

The Turning Point 

 I am not exactly sure when it happened; I bet it just came as I got older and more mature,but once I stopped caring about what other people thought of me I started unlocking the magical toolbox of talents that I had inside of me. I realized that I didn't need to be like anyone else.  I am my own person and I have a personality that rocks. Anyways what would be a world if we were all exactly the same? A pretty boring one if you asked me. Don't you think?  God created us to stand out from the crowd,  not trying to become something you are not.  

We Are All  Unique 

Everyone is different and that's ok. We are all unique in our own way and that is what makes us amazing.
