And in that striving, we become trapped in the melody of comparison and constant competition, always trying to be better, do better, and look better.

However, what we fail to see is that our uniqueness and individuality are powerful tools for making the world a better place.

So why fight what is a blessing?

We are all created with a purpose, and our differences enable us to contribute uniquely to the world. Our differences allow us to bring a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and ideas, providing diversity that fosters growth and innovation in society.

So why fight what is a blessing?

Use the power of differences to enhance the world you touch.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Use the power of difference to enhance the world you touch!

Don’t blame others for what you can control. Your behavior is determined by your actions, all of which you control.

You might enjoy the escape of using someone else’s successes or failures to become your excuses for what you do or don’t do.

So how can you utilize your differences to impact the world you touch, all the while building up others?

Accept yourself for who you are. When you open yourself up to the possibility of using your unique talents, gifts, and ideas to the table, it levels the playing field; both you and others are valuable. And in doing so, you foster an environment where others can thrive as well. Accepting yourself and your differences leads to a level of self-respect and self-love that is necessary for making the world a better place.

Embrace who you are. Take time to identify your strengths, talents, and unique personality traits. Write them down and make a conscious effort to focus on these positive attributes. What can you do to utilize them more? How can they be more of an asset and not a distraction? You are different for a reason! so embrace who you are.

Celebrate others’ differences. Surround yourself with individuals who celebrate their differences and encourage others to do the same. These individuals are like your guards and truthtellers in your life that will inspire you and challenge you to grow in ways that you may not have thought possible.

Remember that comparison holds no power when you believe in yourself and who you are. Trust in your journey and have faith that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

It’s no accident that you’re here listening to me on this podcast. So take it to heart.

Your uniqueness is a bonus in making the world a better place, so embrace it, own it, and let your light shine!

PRAYER: May the Lord open your heart to the possibilities when you believe in yourself, trust in Him, and have faith that the best is yet to come. Lead by example even when you fall. Then, quickly rise up and let your resilience shine as you walk by faith.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
