You Aren’t Useless but …

By Tiana Owolabi

Please, kindly take a moment to personalize and affirm that statement to yourself.

You can take your time to repeat the words as many times as possible and let your thinking bank flow as it expresses the words in your heart.

As teenagers, it’s high time we understood that anyone who can do so much or who is so gifted around you, has been given such abilities based on what he/she can carry.

More importantly, the fact that somebody or your friend can sing, dance and as well draw doesn’t mean that your only singing ability is useless.

YOU WERE GIFTED BASED ON YOUR CAPABILITY.

You are different. As a matter of fact, God knows what you can handle, manage, and maintain. That is the reason He gave you that particular singing ability so that you can maximize it well.

Rather than comparing yourself with your friend or neighbor who is gifted in different areas, why not focus on developing your ability and putting it into use.

What God has given unto you is NOT TO BE KEPT OR HIDDEN.

You were given that particular ability/abilities (whether it is one or more) in order to invest them into the lives of people.

So, stop being in a competition with anyone.

Stay on your lane and work on yourself.

You are UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT.

You are also GIFTED.

I hope you got value from this and you are ready to take actions towards what you have learnt.

Feel free to drop your contributions in the comment section. I will be waiting to hear from you.
