5 Things We Ignorantly Avoid and Pay Dearly For

Some people do not even realise how stupid they are becoming when they begin to run their races with other people’s strengths.  They simply drift into foolishness without knowing.

When we focus our strengths and thinking on ungodly comparisons – using other people’s yardsticks as a determining factor for our successes; we are doomed to fail.
When we are fond of waiting for other people’s opinions before crossing our marks; we are wallowing in failure.
Comparison is a big trap we hardly realise until we discover we have left many things undone that the people we are trying to be like had done.

To escape the trap of ungodly comparison; adopt these 5 simple steps:

1.     Be transparent; you are who you are and the best you can be is yourself. God uniquely wired you and that’s why you are called an individual. All other allusions are illusions ... lying to oneself. Your dream is your dream. Even though, you are running the same type of business like others but your vision aren’t the same. So, be unique in your own unique way.

2.     Exchange ideas with the people of like minds and openly admit what you do not know instead of struggling.

3.     Sharpen your strengths: Instead of trying to be good at everything; wasting monies, time and efforts in polishing your weaknesses, simply admit it and concentrate on your strengths (or abilities).

4.      Be focused! Stop trying to jog six balls, panicking over losing all. Concentrate on one ball and jog it perfectly. There are many other guys out there who do not even have a single ball to jog, give them the extra. Life is all about give-and-take. God did not create you to be everybody; He wants you to be somebody.

5.    Realign your mindset: Though, you are ordinary but you can make extraordinary mark in small things than losing all the big things. You can be a great sergeant instead of being a stupid general.
