The reason many people are discontinued today is because they compare themselves with other people. You know how it goes. You start out in a perfectly good mood, happy as can be, but then you saw one of your coworkers drive up I brand new car. You start thinking. I wish I had a new car. How I am, driving this old clunker. Your good mood is gone and you are discouraged and disconnected.
God has an individual plan for each of our lives. Just because something works for somebody else does not necessarily mean it is going to work for you. God gives each of us special grace to do what He is called us to do. If we make the mistake of trying to copy other people, we are going to be frequently frustrated and we are going to waste a lot of time and energy. Worse yet, we may miss the good things God has for us to do.
Here is some good news. You do not have to keep up with anyone else. You can run your own race and be an individual. God has given you the grace to do what He is called you to do. He has not given you the grace to do what everybody else is doing.
Quit looking at what everybody else is doing and run your own race. You can take pride in yourself without comparing yourself to anybody else. If you run your race and be the best that you can be then you can feel good about yourself.
