Be A Creator and Not An Imitator

It is important for you to understand that there is absolutely no one else in this world quite like you. The abilities you have and the way in which you express them cannot be created and expressed in the same way by others. They can, however, be copied. This place you in a unique situation that you have no competitors only copiers. You compete with yourself in this world by throwing up barricades in the form of negative ideas and opinions about what you can and cannot do. Unless you beleived in your own abilities you come off second best. You fall prey to living your life as a copiest and not as an individualist. When this happens, you miss much of what life has to offer. As the copiest, you cannot be better than the person are you copying because you are imitating that person and not creating. This places you in direct competition with the person you are copying.
People who imitate others seldom reach great heights. Those who create and produce their own ideas are the ones who succeed, who become leaders. You have creative mind capable of producing individual thoughts and ideas of expressing individual talents in a unique way. Stop competing with others. You are you. You are dissimilar to others mentally, spiritually, and physically. Strive to create, not to imitate.
