Difference

Difference is the quality of being unlike or dissimilar in approach, thoughts, mindset, words..., and actions. It is that unique nature that makes two people unlike in nature or quality or form or degree.

No two persons think or reason alike. We all think or reason differently, hence the reason why we cannot process thought patterns the same way or act the same way, because while one person may be thinking one way, the other may be thinking in another way.

Sometimes these differences in humans come together in harmony. Some other times, it tend to individuality in style. Sometimes, it displays unity in diversity. You can tell it in the way we identify with different cultural heritage, belief system, religious affiliations etc, yet heading towards the inevitable destination which is death or life. It is a matter of choice, and it is these choices that determines where we finally end up. So if you want to know where your differences are leading to, check your choices.

Differences are sometimes blessings in disguise as they help to check certain excesses, creating law, order, and balance. It gives people freedom from oppression, opens up your mind and eyes to right of choice, and make you explore, venture..., living life without fear or intimidation because you have the right to do so.

Now the question is: what makes me different from the other person, and how can I utilise these differences in a positive direction?

The day you were born into this world, your arrival has been predestined. You were born to make a difference. Each of us has unique features that can make a difference in our homes, family, society, community, nations, and the world at large. It is now left for us to identify such features and put them to work. At any given time, there's something you are ment to be doing. That is why they say time waits for nobody. But if it is ment to be your time, it would wait for you as long as you align with it.

We are different in so many areas. It is pertinent to know those areas you are different from the other person and try to create harmony. How do I do this?

First, acknowledge your strength and weakness as well as that of the next person or people close to you, creating balance. Second, don't be so much in a hurry to run into conclusions because your strength may be someone else's weakness, and your weakness may be someone else's strength. Third, appreciate your difference from the next person by putting it into anything productive positively. Fourth, your differences shows that you have a right of choice. Fifth, know where to draw the line in that difference and when to create harmony. The lists are unlimited...

In conclusion, life is like a race, and in this race, you would get there before some, and some would get there before you. What really matters is as long as you get there. #Thoughts #Mindset #Approach #Words #Actions #Culture #Tradition #Belief System #Religious affiliations #Difference.
