If you're anything like me, it's easy to take a look at the world around you and immediately feel insignificant. There are so many people in the world, so why do I matter? I'm just a speck in comparison to the rest of the world's population. With so many people, so many better people, why would anything I have to say even matter? Why would my story mean anything when there are millions of people with similar stories?
I've thought like this for a long time and sometimes I still have those thoughts, maybe it's just me, but it can be extremely discouraging. I know that often times when I begin to have a dream, I quickly will shut it down as to big for me and that there's someone else is more capable than I am, because I am just not that important.
I believe that a lot of these thoughts that we have can derive from a mindset of comparing ourselves to others. We are constantly comparing other people to ourselves in so many different capacities. Whether it be someone else's talents, resources, finances, personalities, life stories, we live in such a comparison culture!
To be frank, I just don't think that's fair to us as individuals. The more that we compare, the more that we lose sight of how unique each and every one of us are. I try and remind myself that my story IS special and it does mean something. Why? Because it's my story, and I'm the only one living it. I can compare myself all day and that will only deal more damage. That's not the way to live.
I want to encourage you to remember that you were created uniquely and that your story is one that has never been and that will never be again, Your story is totally and completely unique. Don't ever let the burdens of the world get in the way of that. Be strong, Allow your story to be written and then find the courage to tell it!
