There have been times where some of us may have felt incompetent or mediocre when it came to a specific position or task. Let me ask you this: who determines whether you are qualified or not? Is it our peers who we constantly compare ourselves to? Or do we hold ourselves back?

It is time for a little self evaluation. What makes you a qualified to hold a SGA position? What makes you a qualified Christian? What makes you qualified for that internship? Many times we go throughout our day comparing ourselves to others. Wishing that we had what they had, or that we got that scholarship like they did. We constantly strive to be in someone else's lane, when that lane wasn't meant for us. It is important to realize that doing your best is all you can do and whatever you wish for in life will come if it's in God's will.

So, if you can relate to any of the things that I've listed above, don't be held captive by them any longer. I know it's easier said than done because we all unconsciously do it from time to time. Now, it's time to focus on staying in your own lane and not mimicking anyone else's. It's your time to be patient and wait for your own blessings to come.

"Comparison is the thief of joy." -Theodore Roosevelt
