KNOWING AND LIVING BY THE LAW OF DIFFERENCE.
Friends, I wish to give you a list of concrete qualities that differentiates a personality from ordinary mortals. It is my hope that you will join the league of men and women who are tired of living a mediocre lifestyle and upgrade yourself into the company of history makers – PERSONALITIES
2. A PERSONALITY IS KNOWN BY HIS WILLINGNESS TO TAKE ON RESPONSIBILITIES.
If you are a normal person, by the world’s standard, then you will know that the normal thing to do when you see challenges, problems and troubles coming your way, is that you first of all save your head. Not so with personalities. In their own case, they seek for troubles.
“The price of greatness is responsibility.” ― Winston S. Churchill
For a normal person, they are almost always inundated with their personal problems and family troubles. It is for these and other reasons that they usually will not find time for other people’s troubles talk less of looking for troubles.
Personalities however are different. They are different thanks to their developed character, responsive attitude and overwhelming altruism. These people have worked on themselves in the secret hours of the night and now they are ready to take on anything. It is not that personalities don’t have their personal issues, family challenges or daily troubles. Yet despite all they are going through personally, these people have come to learn one of the most important golden rules of life – that life is only worth living, if its lived for service. They have discovered that as you give to others, you yourself are been filled.
So personalities go and take on challenges of their immediate environment, not because they don’t have their own challenges, but because they have worked on themselves to be ready for such an hour.
“Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.” ― Sigmund Freud
3. A PERSONALITY KNOWS THE LAW OF DIFFERENCE AND LIVES BY IT.
The law of difference is one of the most important truth healthy individuals live by. Thanks to the law of difference, personalities don’t just know their uniqueness, they are sure of them. They know what differentiates them from the pack. Personalities know the difference in things ordinary people don’t even see. It is easier for personalities to distinguish what is right from what is wrong. Thanks to this quality, they are able to get their priorities right. Unfortunately, most people in our world cannot get their priorities right. Personalities know when to do what is important. They know how to bypass the less important things of life.
Your Difference Decides Your Importance. – Mike Murdock
Funny enough, ordinary men tend to spend more time on things of lower values. It is the law of difference that helps to differentiate between what is important and what is urgent. Personalities have mastered this kind of difference. When it comes to ordinary people however, it is a normal thing for them to forsake the important things in life and dedicate themselves to pursuing the urgent needs of the hour.
It is partly thanks to this misplaced priorities of ordinary people that they are not in the position to discipline themselves, to graduate into the status of a personality.
Friends, if you wish to leave your mark on the earth, you will need the law of difference. It will help you to know the things that are important in your life just like personalities have done. To shun the distractions that are pushing you away from the best you could become you will need to embrace the law of difference.
The law of difference is the proof of wisdom. Only the wise operates the law of difference. It takes wisdom to see difference in values, in people, in things, in decisions and in characters. No wonder this quality propels personalities into another world of influence.
“Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.” ― William Arthur Ward
