Found this on the internet and quite like it...
"I woke up one day and I realised that there were many things about my life I was not satisfied with or better still, there were challenges that were threatening my soul.
And I said to myself, "Why should anyone envy me and want to be in my shoes."
They don't know how far I've come, they don't know what lies ahead of me, and neither do they know how dissatisfied I get with myself from time to time.
People don't know the troubles that you've had or the price you had to pay to get to where you are.
All they want to know is that they wish they were like you.
Why should you wish you were in anybody's shoes when you hardly know how they fit?
When you've worn your shoes for a while, they take the shape of your feet and align to the way you walk.
If you were to wear my shoes, you will not be comfortable in them.
So I stopped wishing that I am in someone else shoes because it might not fit; rather I thank God for my shoes, because they fit!
I have learnt to be the best in what I do, and I know no-one can replace me anywhere & in any sphere.
I am an original, my Creator is not in the cloning business He makes originals!
Make the best of what you do; besides you have this beautiful life to live ONLY ONCE.
Live it to the fullest. With Love "
