It is useless to run another mans' race.
NOW OR NEVER LIVE YOUR LIFE.
IT IS USELESS TO RUN ANOTHER MAN’S RACE.
When all is stripped bare, we are all the same. When you ignore privileges, caste and luxury, we are all the same people. At the core humans are just humans. These are the words of Cosmas Butunyi where he tries to show that it is stupid to run another person’s race. We are all equal and same as humans, the only difference is in our status.
We all have the same needs which are food, clothing and shelter other are secondary needs. The only difference is in the form in which these needs are met and enjoyed. Whether you eat in a five star motel or cook, we all fill our tummy. Whether we live in a stone built house, thatched house or a wooden house we all have a home and shelter over our heads. Whether you buy clothes from the malls, tail our own clothes we still cover our bodies.
We don’t have to compare ourselves with others or fake our live styles in order to fit in the community or a certain group, let be ourselves, fight our own battles and accept who we are. Don’t compare yourself with others. Everyone has their own role to play in life.
Just like the sun and the moon, there is no comparison between them since they shine when it is their time. Enjoy your life and be contented with what you have as you aspire to acquire more through working.
Life is not all about pleasing everyone it is about hurting no one. Live your life, dream your own dreams and work them out. Don’t be someone else slave. In life we all spire to be something which is different from another. We all have our own races to run, our own battles to fight and our own challenges to overcome and the only way to achieve this is by being ourselves, facing our own problems and overcoming them in our own way.
Just as the saying “Ones man food is another man’s poison”. We all have some differences which makes us and differentiate us from each other hence it is stupid to run someone else’s race.

You know and understand your heart more than anybody else so better trust it. It is only oneself who can understand how he or she feels. No one knows the pain or happiness that another person is going through but themselves alone and only then can they make a decision that helps them.
This is the lesson I argue you to trust yourself, believe in yourself, live your own life in your own way without fear. If you are different, it means you have the courage to be yourself. Never forget who you are and what is essential for you.
Be positive about yourself, live your own life, live within your means and don’t lone to be like another person in life. Learn to be independent and dependent on God alone, have hope and believe in positive outcomes. We all have our own life different from each other and in this world we have one life which is worth living it to the fullest with no regrets. Living it as yourself and not a duplicate of another person. Be the best version of yourself and work on improving yourself. Be true to self and original.
Having negative thoughts about yourself is harmful to self. Negativity is the shortest way to turn your life into a horror. Have peace in heart and learn to accept who you are, embrace the challenges that come your way and learn how to overcome them. Poor or rich we are all humans and we are here for a purpose which is worth fulfilling. Understand yourself, love yourself and don’t be afraid of being different from the others.
Don’t compare yourself with others. Everyone has a role to play.
