Self Discovery - A different topping

I remember that as a child I just always had this conviction that I was different - special. I never exactly saw myself the way I saw everyone else. Especially that I frequently had this ‘deja vu experience’.

I didn’t understand it or what it meant and why I always had ‘It’ so often. I didn’t relate much and never really told anyone about these experiences so in my head I was the only one who ‘saw things that I had seen before’. 

and so I came to a resolve that this was what made me special...

Until I grew older and realized that I was mistaken as a lot of my friends related to having these same experiences as well. At that point I felt I had lost hold of what made me special. I mean if Everyone shared this same gifting - How then was I special? What made me different from Everyone if we were all the same?

I then disregarded that resolution that I was special but deep down I knew that I was different, I just didn’t know what it was anymore.

•••WHAT AM I TRYING TO POINT OUT?•••

The fact that other people are doing what you’re doing or share the same gifting as you and sometimes are clearly really great at it doesn’t mean it is not your thing. It really doesn’t make you any less talented or special. 

Just like the fact that you’re beautiful doesn’t stop God from making His other creations less beautiful. There’s so much of God that we carry and some of us share a part of God but there’s always a different topping - Your Uniqueness.

it is what makes Doctor Tayo different from Doctor Bola even though they both are really great doctors...

So please stop comparing yourself - stop feeling less of yourself - stop doubting yourself every single time you meet someone or see someone who’s clearly just being him/herself.

You are so much more than you think and it takes the help of God to exhaust all that goodness in you - Yes, that’s how endowed you are.

Cheers 🥂
