๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐Ž๐๐„ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐Ž๐๐„!

You might have heard that no two people have the same fingerprints. That includes identical twins, which is puzzling.

If identical twins share the same DNA data, ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ซ ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ช๐ฎ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ซ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ?

Ancient Jewish thought (Kabbalah) provides helpful insight. According to the tradition, ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ซ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฌโ€”a spiritual signature that maps each personโ€™s unique path in life.

This tradition explains that fingerprints encode the work a person is meant to do in the world.

The fingerprint is on the hand because it symbolizes creativity and action.

Just as no two fingerprints are identical, ๐ง๐จ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐š๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง. Christian thought holds that God uniquely forms each soul with a distinct role: "๐˜‰๐˜ฆ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ, ๐˜ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ" (Jeremiah 1:5).

Out of billions, only you think like you, see the world like you, and possess your specific talents.

Your uniqueness wasnโ€™t an accident.

Step out and do the work only you can do.
Let the world experience your creativity, ideas, and the impact only you can offer.

As I said in a previous post, you werenโ€™t made to blend in.

Donโ€™t you love to be respected for who you are, rather than what you have?

I assume you've experienced unequal treatment before, based on what ๐–๐€๐’ known or ๐๐Ž๐“ known about you.

In some workplaces as well as in social media interactionsโ€ฆ

That is unfortunate.

When people interact this way, the true losers arenโ€™t those who go unseen and unheard, but those who choose to ignore them.

It's OK to be admired for our accomplishments, but it is a red flag to be treated very differently from others due to what we have achieved.

The right thing is to show up for others before theyโ€™ve "proven" anything to us.

NOT ranking people, but recognizing their humanity first.

Everyone, despite their accomplishments, deserves to beโ€ฆ

People will give their best, trust more, and think bigger when respected.

This pays off in valuable relationshipsโ€ฆ

Children who are respected will be more willing to obey.

Partners who respect each other will be more committed.

Employees who are respected will contribute more.

If people set a boundary, let's honor it. If they say โ€œno,โ€ let's not push.

This is a winning strategy and a growth opportunity for leaders.

What do you think? Have you ever caught yourself holding back respect until someone โ€œearnedโ€ it?

We often assume that where someone is today is where they will always be.

That is a mistaken assumption. Time ๐ฉ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ, circumstances ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž, and so do people's situations.

โ–ช๏ธ Someone may be drowning in debt while they are strategizing a financial comeback.

โ–ช๏ธ Someone may be overlooked today, and tomorrow they rise to seats of authority.

The facts of what we see donโ€™t always translate to a definitive outcome.

Also, don't take it to heart if anyone dismisses you for not having arrived.

One's current situation is just a chapter, not the whole story. That is why we shouldn't rush to a conclusion based on the โ€œ๐๐Ž๐–.โ€

I have made it a habit not to allow people's opinions about my โ€œ๐ง๐จ๐ฐโ€ to dictate my โ€œ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ซ.โ€

Time, effort, and patience can make a huge difference, so concluding based on the present can be misleading.

A butterfly flaps its wings in Africa, and the effect causes a tornado in Japan!

That is a metaphor for how small, insignificant actions can create huge and unpredictable consequences in oneโ€™s life and the world.

If you are patient to read this post to the end, you will ๐’๐“๐Ž๐ taking little acts for granted.

The Christian faith shows that no action is too small to matter.

So when a widow offered two small coins, God's heart was moved.

A kind word, a moment of patience, or a quiet act of obedience. They all matter to God.

Small moments can determine the course of a career, relationship, business, and life.

I had an experience when I was a student in Jos, Nigeria.

I met a stranger who had just arrived in our community to do a project. He seemed to be struggling to adapt to the culture.

All I did was offer him a warm handshake laced with the kindness of heart to genuinely know how he was coping.

This stranger later became a great friend, and only two years later, he surprised my wife and me with the gift of a lovely car.

You will agree that the following seem little, yet they can have a great effect on our livesโ€ฆ

I DON'T believe in "๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐š๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ"โ€”the idea that we can always move forward steadily, tick off goals one by one and win all through.

I don't know any honest person who would say their growth was linear.

Linear growthโ€”the idea that progress should be steady and upwardโ€”is embedded in Western Enlightenment and capitalist thinking.

Africans and Asians believe in a rhythm of life where ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ก ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐œ๐ฒ๐œ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ that include setbacks. It is not a fixed and stagnant cycle, but an expanding one.

Knowing that life happens in cycles will help you stay patient, hopeful, and resilient in difficult times.

This worldview was partly the source of the sustaining resilience in the history of African Americans.

Nigerians are also well known for their resilience.

This worldview might explain the World Economic Forum's report that the world's happiest young people live in ๐ˆ๐ง๐๐จ๐ง๐ž๐ฌ๐ข๐š (90%), ๐๐ข๐ ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐š (78%) and ๐ˆ๐ง๐๐ข๐š (72%), while happiness levels are much lower among Western youth.

The idea that nature does not rush is an enriching way of viewing life. The seasons donโ€™t try to speed up, so summer will come faster.

Growth and personal development shouldnโ€™t ๐›๐ž ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ก๐ž๐, too.

Any honest reflection on our lives will reveal that challenging moments helped us develop deeper roots, like trees.

Without our being aware, those were the REAL moments of our growth.

The Bible shows us a similar pattern in the lives of its heroes. ๐€๐›๐ซ๐š๐ก๐š๐ฆ waited 25 years for the promised son, ๐‰๐จ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฉ๐ก endured years of setbacks before his rise to power, and ๐ƒ๐š๐ฏ๐ข๐ was anointed king long before he had access to the throne.

These stories teach that delays and setbacks are preparation and character development moments.

If youโ€™re in a moment where nothing seems to be happening, remember these:

Life knocks some people down, and they wake up at rock bottom, and become different.

Some decide to learn, grow, and show up better the second time.

If you shut out every second chance, you might miss the right people.

You may want to consider these as a way forward:

Protect yourself, but donโ€™t be so closed off that you block the good things that some people could be to you.

Use your judgment. Not everyone deserves another shot. But some doโ€ฆ they are the ones who make it all worth it.

What do you think? Are second chances worth it?

Thereโ€™s a saying: โ€œ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ๐งโ€™๐ญ ๐ ๐ž๐ญ ๐š ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐  ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐›๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐.โ€

Itโ€™s a saying about life.

In software design, if an app feels easy, itโ€™s because developers worked hard on the back end.

They call it ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ญ-๐ž๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ข๐œ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐›๐š๐œ๐ค-๐ž๐ง๐ ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฑ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ. It can be the other way round.

A young person may choose to struggle early, refine their skills, and make life easier later.

The other way round is to take it easy now and face difficulties later.

I remember my undergraduate training, which was one of the hardest training experiences of my life.

We were trained to think deeply, interrogate assumptions, and structure thoughts. The training pushed our mental limits.

One day, I told a friend that I was overwhelmed. His response was remarkable:

"๐˜‹๐˜ฐ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜บ ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ?"

That response helped me appreciate the experience.

Today, I am grateful for the mind I developed as a result of that training.

Anything that makes the future easier requires sacrifice and effort today.

What feels like suffering today is likely what your future self will be grateful for.

If you want a future where decisions feel effortless and life flows smoothly, embrace the complexity it demands.

Fitting in wonโ€™t get you ahead anymoreโ€”hereโ€™s why being different is the way to go today.

Social conformity was once a good way to get ahead when societies valued uniformity and tradition. Those days are gone!

Today's world values innovation and creativity, so people who differentiate themselves are the ones who stand out.

๐๐„ ๐ƒ๐ˆ๐…๐…๐„๐‘๐„๐๐“. ๐„๐Œ๐๐Ž๐ƒ๐˜ ๐‚๐Ž๐๐“๐‘๐€๐’๐“.

Contrast is important because we learn by comparing things.

Contrast helps us know what is ๐›๐ข๐  relative to what is ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ, and what is ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ as opposed to what is ๐ฐ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ .

The environment naturally hides anything that blends in.

While blending in is not bad in itself, it can get so bad that it stifles originality and innovation. That is where people tragically lose themselves to groupthink.

Anyone who fears contrastโ€”who resists being an anomaly, who hesitates to stand outโ€”eventually fades into the background.

This is why you should find your own way and have the courage to do what others wonโ€™t do.

And let me add that finding your own way is not difficult. It begins with being comfortable with who you are and accepting what makes you unique.
