What if everyone in the world was exactly alike? What
if everyone talked the same, acted the same, loved the same, listened to the
same music and watched the same TV programs and viewed same things? The world
would be extremely dull and monotonous!
What they focus to view would be different |
Through this same lens, what individual focus at would
be different. Some may adjust to look at different creatures on lush grass,
brook that runs between the valleys etc. Few still might simply opt to shut
their eye and look nothing.
I believe it's important to accept people for who they
are.
I
personally feel that God created each of us unique, the way he wanted us to be.
We each have a set destiny laid before us. Our lives are a mystery but are
precious and should be cherished. Each of us is masterpieces of God’s creation.
Through this, we must honor God by taking care of what he gave us. Each of were
individually handcrafted who we are, so we should embrace the good in us!
Differences are important and they should be
respected. For example, many important people throughout history were
considered different, such as Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Harriet Tubman,
Peter Tchaikovsky and Abraham Lincoln. They did great things, but some people
thought they were weird because they had strong feelings about something.
We can’t stand out when you look like everyone else. We
can’t inspire and challenge others when we are just as fearful as them to stand
out and be noticed, criticized, disbelieved. To make a difference, you first
must be different…
It’s our obsessive compulsions that yield greatness, not our
penchant for compromise. We can draw inspiration from Thomas Edison trying one
more time after the 983rd failed attempt to build a working light bulb; from
Harland Sanders trying the 1,009th time to convince a restaurant to buy his
famous chicken recipe and Oprah Winfrey sharing hope for the sexually abused in
spite of her own scars.
Thus, being your same self or like
anyone you know is no longer acceptable. It’s about being different.
Nicely written!
