The
imperfect nature that God gave us, means we cannot be the best
everywhere. But this cannot make you say GOD was not right for making us
that way. Simply because, what makes you incomplete draws you closer to
God anytime it shows itself. If you will bear with me, even at
school, there are some subjects which no matter how you try, you seem
not to get the outcome you expect. The moment this happens, you are
tempted or pushed to look to GOD and draw closer to him.
A prayer by a
poor student when Mathematics exam is approaching will go like this:
"GOD, for this one if you don't take charge, I do not know what will
happen". I am not saying nothing is impossible. You cannot make your
mind up to study the subject or anything you are not best at to become
best or prefect. In fact, you have to come to the realization that, you
cannot be the best everywhere.
You can have the beauty, yet you will be
lacking the attitude. You can have the money yet you will be lacking its
management. You can have the song yet you don't have the voice to sing
your self-made song. You can talk in your home but cannot talk in
public. There are these little things that make you incomplete which
were created to prompt you that there is God to be talking to, about
this each day. But, there is also that something you are Best at. Being
it sports, singing, dancing etc, there are some people who can dance in
public but cannot talk in public.
You can be best at Social studies in
school, due to that, you are considered to be the best student when it
comes to that subject. That's what you can conquer very well. When
Physics shows itself you become calm and moody. That moment, God comes
into the picture and that's the power of imperfection. It is engineered
to base on something or anything you are not best at. This might end up
in neglecting what you are best at which is so so wrong. I quite
remember in high school, when someone is not best at a particular
subject, the person is challenged to give all her focus and attention to
that particular subject, ignoring the one she might be good at and
later on find herself wanting at that subject.
It is advisable to be
balanced in everything. Yet in my opinion, I will advise you also give
attention to what you are best at in order to excel. Bill Gates left
school because he was not good, right? The moment he discovered what he
was best at and focused on it, he is now the father of Microsoft today.
Definitely, that time he was lacking in the other fields and he did not
ignore what he was best at to work on them.
You cannot be the best
everywhere but you can be good everywhere . Know the difference! Let me
give you a sensory here, "My mother normally says, I am best at
preparing palava sauce which my sister is good at, while my sister is
best at preparing Jollof rice, which I am good at". Ever since my mother
told us that, I always make sure I give my best. In fact, my last best
when it comes to preparing palava sauce because that is where I get my
ten over ten and not necessarily meaning I do not try giving my best in
preparing jollof rice but I am just trying to conquer where I am best in
the more.
Youth, accept that you cannot be the best everywhere and in
everything. Therefore give much attention to what you are best at more
and you will be embrace from there. Do not reject what you are best at
simply because you are busy working on what you are not good at. By the
time you realize, you might be lacking in what you are best at.
Martin
Luther once said: “Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a
highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't
by size that you win or fail. Be the best at whatever you are.”
You cannot be the best everywhere. Always be the best version of you.
