Spotting the difference

There is always a difference between every situation, every thought and every action. Spotting the difference might not be easy but always know there is a difference. The difference is that edge that gives us hope. The difference is that which gives you a reason to want to give it a second shot and that difference is that which gives you strength to keep moving on.


In the cause of our existence i have come to discover that in as much has that difference has a lot of good things attached to it there is something needed to benefit from it, that is spotting it. Inability to spot the difference is one of the things that make people do several things they do in today's world. Let's start with ourselves. Reading this piece today there are several things you have done because that is the trend others are following. 


Try to identify 
what this shining light is and
see how difficult it is to 
spot the difference.

If walking or driving towards this shining light, the ability to spot the difference of it been either a shining moon, a torch light or a bike's full light determines what actions we take. Inability to be able to spot it puts us in confusion and this can be likened to why so many people are confused today because they have failed to spot the difference.



You see students studying in a particular manner because that is how their friends are studying forgetting they need to spot the difference between them and their friends and how well each person can assimilate and what period. You see people saying i want to travel abroad because that is what everyone around them is doing forgetting to spot the difference between what your family can afford and what others can, forgetting everyone's mission is different. You see others jumping into relationships and marriages because their friends are getting married or because someone has said it's time to get married. They have forgotten there is a difference between each person's destiny and life plan. Forgetting it is not how early you do it but how successful it becomes when you do it. 




We find ourselves following the crowd because we have refused to sit down and spot the difference between   ourselves and others. We compare ourselves with others every opportunity we have making ourselves sad forgetting no two lives have the same mission. They can be similar but never the same. 

A clear way to know the essence of spotting the difference is when you want to take a shower in an environment where the temperature is cold and you need to use a warm water to shower. You have two buckets of water in front of you same bucket size and color but one is warm and the other is very cold. If you refuse to wait a minute to spot the difference and you end up pouring a bowl of the cold one on your body am sure you can imagine what will happen. That is how important and necessary spotting the difference is in life. The more we are able to spot the difference between us and others the more right decisions we are likely to make in live.
