Why is it that we have a desire to reach beyond that which we can attain? is it some deep seeded desire to disappoint ourselves? Are we generally so self deluded as to think that we are capable of truly anything? Why is it that we don’t just accept that which is given to us? Perhaps it is those who have gone before us and shown us that for some it is truly possible to be remarkable. But were they really that remarkable, or did they happen to be the people who were where they were. If given a chance to shine would not most people step forward. If this is the case than shining is not truly remarkable and no one can take credit for being extraordinary. If this is the case the credit must entirely go to God. For is it not He that puts us in the places that we are? Is it not Him who sets each of us in our own direction? I ask these question to remedy an answer to one bigger question I have asked all my life. Am I special? And I don’t simply mean special in that I am of God’s chosen people, whom are those of the species of man. No. I wonder if among men, am I somehow potentially above most. Though I know I am a broken man and am no where near perfect, the question still stands as this has nothing to do with perfection. This has to do with a level of self awareness and understanding.
