Everybody wants to be like Mike,
Take your pick,
Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game six.
But why get paid to be somebody else,
When you were made to be your self?
This is what initially went wrong
With Kobe and Lebron,
Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz
And the list goes on,
They became legends only when they learned,
That everyone is blessed with unique talents,
And the challenge,
Is to identify our unique gifts,
And use them to reach our full potential and uplift,
Take Steph Curry for instance,
Can't jump like Jordan
Not as tall as Jordan,
Yet he can ball, score, and inspire us all, like Jordan.
Because he appreciated his differences,
He Identified his unique sk** set and strengthened it,
Now because of his existence,
And his persistence and commitment,
he has shifted and lifted the game to a new level that few even thought existed.
His differences, allows him to connect to millions,
So the next time,
You are stressed, because you are comparing yourself to the success,
Of a friend, celebrity, cousin, or sibling,
Remenber you are special,
With unique life experiences,
With an unique key to open up an unique door, to your,
unique path, to doing what you are uniquely meant to do,
So just like Steph Curry,
Don't be the next Jordan, be the first you.
