Until we've actually tried something, we may not realize how difficult it is. Some things look very easy to do, but when we try it ourselves we see how hard it really is. And then to realize that some people make a living at a certain job which we can't even do one time, makes us understand that those people are gifted beyond measure.
But what about those things we do with ease, which other people feel are impossible for anyone to do. We are all gifted in something, and are blessed when we discover that talent and use it to either make a living or just have a way to enjoy our free time. God created each of us in a unique manner. There's no one exactly like us and we are given abilities and talents which no one else has. They may aspire to be like us, and we may aspire to be like them, but we "is what we is" and there is no one like us. We may try to be like someone else, but it is usually harder than it looks. Be a dreamer, but always come back to reality and don't think it is better to be in their shoes rather than our own. Being comfortable in our own skin, seeking to improve our abilities, not going beyond our limits, or we may find that the price we have to pay is beyond what we can afford to spend. When we covet what another has or want more status or wealth, we may find that there are costs we have to pay which are beyond our capabilities. Be content, be realistic about our ability to endure the extra pressure or responsibility of that dream and let God direct us where He feels we are best able to "perform", always seeking to please Him, honor Him and be thankful for all He has done for us. When we see that it's harder than it looks, it may be the right time to stay with the current path and not step out on that "expert slope". But be ready when God says ITS TIME to step out in faith..........and then trust Him when we do.
