Proverbs 18:16
A man’s gift makes room for him,And brings him before great men.
Do what you are Good at,
Excel in what you Do,
Grow in what you Excel.
BE,
A fish that swim in the water,
A Jarguer that runs on land,
A Monkey that climbs tree,
A Eagle that soar.
DON'T BE,
A fish that try to walk on land,
A Jarguer that try to take off from ground,
A eagle that climb tree,
A Monkey that swims.
Sound ridiculous? But that's what many of us are doing....
But why?
1) Fearful of others' opinion about you.
2) Envy of what others have.
(Note: Having desires are good. But envies are bad. Desires simply means you want something better but at the same time you are contented and give thanks as to what you have now. Envy is when you are constantly wanting what others have but never happy nor thank God for what he has given you.)
3) The grass looks greener on the other side.
4) Don't dare to be truthful to yourself
You live only once. Be honest to yourself, be a blessing to others and most importantly be faithful to what your Creator has deposited in you. No one gift is greater than another gift. Gifts from God are never meant for you to compare, but it's for you to be thankful to God and be responsible to grow this gifts and use them to bless others.

so are u fish eagle or jaguar ?
Good sharing! That reminds me of the story of stewardship (Matt 25)..
No point putting away our talents(ie gifts from God), instead we should use it to bring forth more fruits in the lives of people around us.
Great things always start small. No matter how small it seems,know that whatever we do, we do it unto God Himself. Gal 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
