yea,in school i always have this need to be the best or at least one of the top at everything.sometimes i resent myself for not doing something better.i just feel like i can do so many great things and i can be the best,is this wrong?

Why do you want to be teh best????

is it for your satisfaction?

we are suppose to do our best at everything we do. just as if we are doing it for the Lord....

now...

if I go out and heal 10 people every day, and raise 5 people from the dead, and calm the sea and rebuke the F-5 tornado that is heading for a highly populated church...... and do it for myself, for my pride, for showing off of what I can do, then it is not for the right reason... but if I do it cause i love the Lord, and love His creation, and want Him to have the Glory, then it would not be wrong.....

if you enjoy dancing, as I love dancing, and just want to dance with all your heart and are dancing before the Lord as if you were dancing for your mom or dad or other family members then i would say it is not wrong....

you will find in life that you will be much happier and maybe even better if you strive to be the best you can possibly be and let who's the best fall where it may.

If you really are better than all the others you will never reach your full potential by benchmarking any or all of them. You'll lighten up when you feel superior. If you don't have the talent to better than someone else you will never be fulfilled and be happy with yourself. If you are always in competition with others they may not be willing to help you or give advice that you could use....

Be cautious of setting your goals of being better than others, for you will fail in the long run of being happy and your best..... it always works that way.

Just be the very best that you can possibly be.....

Nessa, you should be the very best that you can be at whatever you are doing.

Col 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Be the best you can be unto the Lord and you won't have to worry about prideful competition.

God bless.

Hi Nessa and Mona:

It took me a loooooooonnnnnng time to learn that when I focus on others rather than myself, life is better.

Go to dance class, do the best you can, have a great time.

But focus on the others in the class.

Help someone who's having problems with a difficult step.

Talk to someone who seems to be shy.

Put an arm around someone who is having a bad day.

In other words, be Jesus to the other students.

You'll find that in doing so you will be greatly blest.

Peace,

Fiosh
