Special

We are all special in our own way!

Everyone is born for a reason and the reason is to be our self. How many times have we looked at other people and admire them for who they are? We sometimes envy them for what they can do. Then, we look down on ourselves for not being that healthy or wealthy person as we see.

The world is changing every minute. Technology permits us to get free information easily. We can get whatever materials we want to be the person we want to be. Instead of looking up to the other people and think small of ourselves, why not just take the first step in making the change in ourselves? What is pulling us back from chasing our dreams?

Everyone has a dream. There is this one dream that we want to achieve but have no idea where to start and how to start. Information is vast and we find it difficult to digest every bit of it. So where do we start? How do we do it like those successful people out there?

Some people are born lucky. Without any effort, everything is given to them. There are not that many people who are successful by chance or luck. Most reach the height by effort.

It takes effort to take that first step. We can search. We can look. Whatever it is, information is worthless if never put into action. What works for one may not work for others. While we feel like drowning in the World Wide Web, there are pieces here and there that we can use to path our own way.

It takes courage to move forward. Trial and error is hard way and takes time but it is also the foolproof way to learn the path that suits us best. We have signed up for a dozen courses and searched for a thousand ways to go about chasing our dream. People can tell us anything but if that does not suit us, then we might as well be different.

It takes perseverance to bring ourselves to the next level. Normal people tend to give up half way saying that it is impossible because we have not seen results past all time and efforts put in. Perhaps we have been looking at things the other way around. The goals can be set high, but the steps have to be laid. Unless we have wings, otherwise we still have to take one step at a time.

If we find it really hard to believe the toughness in life, perhaps life really is simple. We just do not see it yet. Whatever material things that we chase after are just things that matter now, but not later. Time is playing a trick on us. Nothing in this world lasts forever.

If we can understand that life means change, and we take action to change, then we are definitely one step closer to realizing our dreams. If we change now, there is a chance that we will succeed one day. If we refuse to make the first move, then we are definitely stagnant in the same spot till the end of our days in this life. Change is inevitable.

We will never know where change brings us. We will never walk the exact same path as any other person in this world. We each have the right to create that special path for ourselves. With all the information we have, with all the lessons learnt along the way, we soon will notice that we are special in our own way.

There is no room for comparison. There is only idols for us to model upon. Creating something entirely new can be hectic. It takes such a long time to reach a checkpoint. Instead of envying other people, why not ponder upon them? What is it that the person is doing that I am not? What makes that person special that he is looked up upon? What can I learn from the person to make my life easier?

Look beyond what we can see. Appreciate the differences.

 

We’re all different. That’s what makes us special. We have to love each other and get on with each other. It’s not up to me to judge anybody.
