In this dog-eat-dog world of constant competition, we have an alternative.

We can celebrate each other’s uniqueness and achievements instead of trying to outdo each other.

There is no need to tear each other down; there is no need to trample on each other to get to where we are going.

God made each one of us in His image; we are all one-of-a-kind originals. There are no carbon copies here.

Consequently, we have been blessed with different gifts. My talents and abilities will not be yours and vice versa.

Similarly, we all have different paths to walk; a God-given purpose has been laid out for each one of us.

Instead of comparing ourselves to each other, we should connect ourselves to the Creator. Ask Him to reveal His plan for our lives.

Only then would we be able to live purposeful lives, reflecting the image of the One who created us!

Why live like a copy when you were born an original?
