I went to change the screen guard of my phone a few days ago. And after the phone vendor laid the shining guard smoothly on my phone, it appeared so different from the smartphone I used to use. In fact, the curvy edge at the top on the phone's screen made my phone look like an iPhone. It didn't even occur to me for a while that such change could happen to my phone. An Infinix phone masking the face of an iPhoneβeven though it can never do the job of an iphone, as it were.
I got home and realized that APPEARANCE isn't the same as PERFORMANCE. Better put, what you look like doesn't determine your capacity in life. As Apostle Joshua Selman once said, it is painful to look great and not be great.
Just like my Infinix phone, you may look like an iPhone. But looking like OR trying to look like something/someone doesn't make you the thing/ the person.
Stop trying to mask the "life" of anyone. You have your life to live. And no matter what you look like or where you're from, someone is praying to be like you. Yet, being like you will never make them you. Understand that God wired us differently with different softwares (abilities)
Regardless of what your outward appearance look like, you're still unique. And trying to be someone else will not make you the person. Rather, you're indirectly telling God he hasn't made you perfect enough to perform what He has called you to do.
Don't mask people's result without understanding their softwares. Your fight is different, Sir John Obidi will always say.
Appreciate God for your unique self, gifts and abilities. Appreciate the results of other people. You may even be challenged by their results. But let their results inspire you to improve, and not to be envious at the detriment of your unique identity and ability.
If you were not needed on earth, God wouldn't have designed you to be different from others. Grow in your uniqueness.
