THE DANGER OF COMPARISON


 HH, Patriarch Sir Johnson

Dear Unique Creations,

Social media has created an epidemic of comparison that is quietly destroying souls. Every day, you scroll through carefully curated highlight reels of other people's lives, comparing their best moments to your ordinary reality, their strengths to your weaknesses, their victories to your struggles. This comparison breeds discontent, envy, and a deep sense of inadequacy.

You must understand that comparison is a trap that robs you of joy and paralyzes your progress. When you measure yourself against others, you will always find someone more successful, more gifted, further along, more blessed. This comparison leads to one of two destructive conclusions: either pride (I am better than they) or despair (I will never measure up).

Both responses miss the fundamental truth: you were created as an original, not a copy. Your assignment is unique. Your gifts are specific. Your journey is yours alone. The person you are tempted to envy is fighting battles you know nothing about. The life that looks perfect from the outside may be crumbling behind closed doors.

Instead of comparing yourself to others, compare yourself to who you were yesterday. Are you growing? Are you learning? Are you becoming more of who you were created to be? This is the only meaningful measurement. Celebrate others' victories without diminishing your own worth. Their success does not require your failure. There is room for everyone to shine.

Focus on your own lane. Run your own race. Develop your own gifts. Fulfil your own calling. Stop looking sideways at what others are doing and keep your eyes fixed on where you are going. The energy you waste in comparison could be invested in your own development.

Remember, you have something unique to offer that no one else can give. The world needs your specific expression, your particular voice, your distinctive contribution. When you spend your life trying to be someone else, we all lose the gift of who you were meant to be.

Be authentically, unapologetically you.

Patriarch Johnson

GEORGIA GUIDESTONES

  Visiting the Georgia Guidestones: A Mysterious Roadside Attraction By  Paul Entin   /  3.9.20 Standing alone in a field in the middle of rural Elbert County, Georgia, the Georgia Guidestones monument features six granite slabs with ten commandments. But not  the  Ten Commandments. So what is written on the Georgia Guidestones and what do they say about our global future? Read on. People wonder if the Georgia Guidestones really exist because the message inscribed on the granite monolith seems too horrific to believe. Conspiracy theorists point to its writings and its mysterious origin story as proof of a globalist plot to reduce the world population, eliminate national sovereignty, and replace individual rights with a communist dictatorship, among other plans. The Guidestones consist of four, tall, stone slabs. These slabs surround a central slab and a final slab sits on top of them all as a capstone. Slits in the center slab and capstone direct the sunlig...

THE ETERNAL WALK

  HH, Patriarch Godfrey Gregg The journey of faith is not limited to the span of our earthly years—it is a walk that stretches into eternity. For those who belong to the Lord, life is more than a fleeting moment; it is the beginning of an everlasting union with God. Our walk with Him is both present and eternal. From the beginning, God has desired fellowship with man.  “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away”  (Genesis 5:24). Enoch’s life reminds us that walking with God is not bound by earthly limitations but leads to eternal fellowship with Him. Jesus confirms this promise of eternal companionship, declaring:  “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die”  (John 11:25–26). Our walk continues beyond death, for in Christ we have eternal life. Paul describes this journey beautifully:  “For we walk by faith, not by ...

US GREAT MYSTERIES

      One of the US' greatest mysteries     Atop a desolate hill in a small US town are the Georgia Guidestones: an eerie 19ft tall granite monument with a post-apocalyptic message for the world.   By Shannon Dell 3 September 2015 The drone of the man’s oak didgeridoo reverberated off the granite. “Not that I know when Doomsday is,” he said, parting his lips from the mouthpiece and pointing toward the 19ft tall thick, grey stones a few yards from us. “But whenever it hits, this is right where I’d want to be.” I met Anthony, a hitchhiker from North Carolina, at the site of the  Georgia Guidestones , a mysterious six-piece granite monument atop a desolate hill in the small town of Elberton, Georgia. He had stopped at the site on his way to see the  Coral Castle  – another mysterious stone structure – in Homestead, Florida. I had stopped because I’m a sucker for roadside oddities. “It's no wonder this was chosen as the site for the guidestones. ...
