IMAGINE living in a world with people who are the same?
The same in terms of intelligence quotient (IQ), ambitions and morale.
The world would be a boring place without purpose and direction because everyone would be living for the same thing.
Being different is what we are meant to be, because we cannot be the same.
An old adage says: “Birds of the same feather flock together”.
There are different species of birds around the world and they equally have different habitats and ways of living.
An eagle and a goose are both birds but have different characteristics in terms of speed, how high they fly and so on.
In the same way, human beings are all classified as “people” but we are all different.
We all have different fingerprints, backgrounds and levels of IQ.
If we were all positive-minded, there would not be motivational speakers.
If we were all naturally intelligent, our teachers would not serve a purpose.
The bottom line is we are all unique and serve different purposes in life.
In order to be irreplaceable, we must be different.
Do not be afraid of being different, be afraid of being the same with everyone else.
What makes you different makes you beautiful.
Embrace yourself and feel elated to be different.
Life is too short to wish to be someone else when God gave you the opportunity to be “You” and to live your life.
