In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.

I once read the following quote: "Confidence isn’t walking into a room with your nose in the air, and thinking you are better than everyone else. It’s walking into a room and not having to compare yourself to anyone else in the first place."

Total game changer. But seriously. All people are different, and we should embrace that instead of trying to compare everyone to each other. No one are alike. No one should be. You should be able to look at yourself and be happy because you are the best version of you. Not because you think you are better than someone else. What defines you as a person should not depend on who you are comparing yourself to.

My mom always told me growing up that as long as you did your best, that's good enough. And I believe that still. You just have to do your own thing. Know your self. Know your strengths so you can grow stronger.  But also your weaknesses so you can improve. Be ambitious when you set goals for who you want to be. Who you want to become. And don't do it so you will be better than someone else, do it so you can look at yourself and be happy that you are the best possible version of you.

We are not perfect human beings, nor do we have to pretend to be, but its necessary for us to be the best version of ourselves we can be.
