"Take the pressure off. You have nothing to prove. Your destiny is not contingent on them liking you. Their approval is not keeping you from your purpose. It’s a distraction. You’re spending time and energy trying to impress, outperform, and show them that you’re good enough, when in fact, you’re already good enough. You’ve already been approved. God created you in His own image. Now, run your race. They may be more talented. Celebrate them. You’re not competing with them. You don’t have to prove to them that you’re talented too. You have gifts that they don’t have. Be confident in who God made you to be. ©twisha ray"
