I once read Million Dollar Habits by Brian Tracy, and one of the key lessons that stuck with me was about the power of belief. He wrote:
“You are not what you think you are, but what you THINK, you are.”
“You do not believe what you see, but rather, you see what you already believe.”
These statements challenge us to reflect on how we see ourselves, because how we treat and view ourselves often shapes how others treat and perceive us.
Many people still don’t realize just how unique and valuable they are. They underestimate their voice, presence, and potential. But the truth is, no one thinks, speaks, writes, acts, sings, or leads exactly like you do. Even identical twins, though they may look alike, are distinct individuals with their own strengths and expressions.
Often, jealousy arises not from someone else’s success, but from our own lack of self-awareness. Sometimes, what you need isn’t more comparison but more clarity; a renewed mindset and fresh understanding of who you really are.
Personally, many of my convictions were shaped by God’s Word. My confidence grew when I realized that I am never at a disadvantage in life; even when things don’t go as planned. I’ve come to see those moments not as setbacks, but as redirections toward something better because I believe everything works together in my favour.
Learn to see yourself the way God sees you. Jesus never once looked down on himself, and He is our ultimate model for living.
So embrace your uniqueness. Nurture it, grow in self-awareness, and keep building yourself toward the future you were created to live.
