Ok, I'm guilty of it although I'd never really admit to it before. But lately, as I seek to increase my knowledge in many areas, including web design, I've found myself, coveting someone else's talent. Don't get me wrong. I've come a long way in my design skills but I feel like I still have so far to go. I make the mistake of looking at other people's work and I start to compare my work to theirs.

Then there's the thought that maybe I'm not good enough. Maybe I should be doing something different. But then I realize that God doesn't always call the qualified, He qualifies the called. I don't know where I read that or who it's from but I like that saying alot. I have to realize that many are called but the chosen are few (Matthew 22:14). I like to believe I'm one of the chosen although I don't always feel that way.

In times like these I'm reminded of when I was about 16 or 17 years old. I was watching Rap City on BET and the rap duo Gangstarr was on the show that day. Although not scriptural in nature, DJ Premiere said something that I've never forgotten. He simply said, "Don't sweat the next man/woman. Do what you do best."
