I have known what I wanted to do with my life for a long time now however, at this current point in my life I constantly make the mistake of second guessing myself on everything.
Not only do I second guess myself but I compare myself to others and I know that I'm not the only one who does this. Our college years are the land of uncertainty, comparison and competition.
I used to fear that someone who has a higher GPA or finds a class a breeze while I find it challenging means that maybe I'm not smart enough. I used to fear that because someone had a certain internship that I didn't have meant that they are going to be far more successful than me. I used to fear that I was never going to fulfill the expectations that those who meant the most to me, had for me.
But then I came to the realization and remembered that I have my own unique path.
We are meant to go through life experiencing things differently and in our own unique way. No two man are the same. That is what makes life so fun.
So to all my college students, stop focusing on the success of others and pay attention to the greatness that the Lord has in store for you. Don't miss your blessing, watching others get blessed.
“The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” Psalm 138:8
