People are of different colours, races, beliefs, ideologies, languages, professions, family backgrounds etcetera. But I am not referring to any of these contexts. To differentiate oneself is a different ball game that has nothing to do with any of these circumstantial contexts. To really differentiate yourself starts from the point of making a decision to stand-out for good among others. Wherever you find yourself in the larger society, make sure that you stand for what is good, honourable, excellence, quality, integrity, outstanding performance, etc. You cannot afford to live your life just like every other person out there. You were specially made for great and glorious purposes. Don't limit your potentials and abilities. Stop reducing yourself to nothing. You are of great value because an invaluable price was paid for you by Jesus to live a glorious life.
NOTE:
Take steps to differentiate yourself from among others. Do great things that bring Glory to God, Recognition, Honour and Appreciation. You cannot afford to live an ordinary life like those without definite purpose of existence.
