Different Yet The Same

We might as well agree to disagree. No matter how different we may be, we are still similar in so many ways. Most of the times, we base our judgements on what we are able to see. We don't take the time to get to know people and who they truly are before making snap judgements. Our decisions are usually based on false beliefs that we create in seconds of meeting someone. If we take the time to listen to others, we may find that although there are many ways that we are different, we also share similarities. The more we understand ourselves, the more we will be able to understand the needs of others. Today, be yourself. Comparing yourself to others will only lead to self defeat. Celebrate the differences between yourself and others, for it is in the differences that you shine.

It would be helpful to have signs to tell us what to do in life...
 
(I don't usually compare myself with others, but I guess on bad days it's an easy thing to do. During these periods in my life, no matter what other people do, they seem to do it better than me. I don't have a problem with people who are different because it makes my life more interesting. I truly believe that it's better for everyone if there are differences in who we are because in the long run, we are more alike than different.)
