This is one of my favorite sayings from Albert Einstein.

It is so simple, yet so profound.

If you compare yourself to someone else, and you can't do what they can, you can spend the rest of your life feeling insufficient and incompetent.

• It shatters the confidence that you have about yourself.

• God didn't create you to be in competition with the person next to you.

                        He created you with your own purpose.
                        Your own talent and giftings.
                        Your own destiny.

One of the dangers of comparing yourselves with others is that it can lead to jealousy and envy- 2 attitudes that are self destructive. 

(Romans 12:6 MSG)

“Let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't.”

If we will concentrate on becoming who GOD created us to be--instead of who we think we ought to be, or who someone else wants us to be--we will experience a sense of peace and security that will enable us to resist focusing on what those around us are doing.

REMEMBER:

You are unique! And God is fitting you for a purpose like no one else's.
