Why would I want to be like someone else? Or even why would I want what someone else has?
It makes me feel like a crappy person when I feel that way sometimes because I know it's not even worth it. There is no reason to want those things because then I wouldn't be me.
Working my butt off in things I do, but feeling unnoticed gets me frustrated. It almost makes me feel like the older brother in the Prodigal Son yet in a different circumstance.
I should be focusing on working my butt off for God and not for others. There are people who are great at everything they do and try, but God didn't give me that gift. I try my best in all my sports, but I don't excel to the top in any of them.
Today was a little better than yesterday I suppose, but these past couple days have really made me rely to lean on God. I actually feel sorry for some of the people who excel in their sports because some of them may appear to have it together and great, but they might not have a relationship with God, which is the one thing I cherish most in my life.
I read something today saying how life is like a railroad track with one good and one bad side. Even if everything is all good and dandy, there is still at least one bad thing you could work on. When life is bad, there is always at least one good thing you can look at.
God Bless.
