"Let go of the need to prove yourself to others....Could it be the one you're really been trying to prove something to is yourself? The answer is easy: learn to approve of yourself. Love and accept yourself the way you are today. Then step right up and take your place in the universe"-Melody Beattie

No one else can do your job in this world-no one.  It might be a HUGE job or a small one but only you can do it.  We all know how unique we all are so why do we compete or compare?  We were made to be unique for a reason.  We don't need to earn it and we are not graded or rewarded based on someone's idea of success.  You have your own skills and talents.  You have your own lessons to learn.  You are who you are meant to be in this world.  Now go and do it! Peace.
