The idea for this post comes from an amazing lady that I have the privilege of calling friend.
I went fishing with this friend and her family, enjoying the scenery and the company. As we were leaving, another friend of ours showed us her the pictures she had taken, one of which was a landscape picture. It can be hard to capture the beauty of this area because it is all surrounding, but the landscape option on the camera allowed my friend to get more of it.
My other friend had tried to get some good scenic shots, but was jealous that this friend's had turned out so much better. Later, when we were in the car, this friend started to play around with her camera and realized that there was a landscape option on it. "There's a lesson to be learned," she exclaimed, "Whenever we feel jealous of something we just need to dig deeper inside ourselves and we'll find there's no need to be jealous!"
I have been guilty of comparing myself to others and finding myself falling short. There is greatness inside of us all, if we dig deep, we'll find more than we realized was there. There's no need to compare, we're different, but we're different for a reason, Heavenly Father has different things that He needs us to accomplish in this life. As we rely on Him and learn from the examples from others, we can become more than we ever thought possible.
