I’m writing this blog post with an Apple phone on my left and an Android on my right. They’re both great phones, one an iPhone 8+ and the other a Samsung Note 9. I’m not going to try and convince you that one is better than the other rather I think we can liken these two phones to people.
When I look at people I see those that would be iPhone, they’re simple, compact, sleek and possess a smooth operating system because it’s not bogged down by any outside programming. On the other hand, I see those Androids they possess a lot of neat features, almost too many to have them all operating as perfectly as the fewer features on the IPhone. Androids can be customized and can be much more the heavy users and technically minded phone.
You know people that are in your life who are simple and smooth and would remind you of an iPhone. These people are consistent and conscientious and always there when they have said they will be. These people aren’t the life of the party, but they’re the glue which helps to keep your life together. They’ll hold you when you’re sad and cheer you on when you’re happy.
On the other hand, you have the fast-paced high-functioning people. They’re accomplishing a lot but are not as systematic about they’re the approach. These people love breaking molds and shooting for the stars. They’re the life of the party and the idea people for what should happen next. Living without a constant structure is easier for these people because they adapt well and can handle a lot of stress and pressure. You need these people too because they’re the people who’ll make you laugh when things are tough and distract you when you’re sad.’
The point is you need both, there is power in difference. God never designed for any two of us to be alike. You can split us up into more centralized categories like I did, but that was to make the point that being different is okay. Different people and personalities are the spice of life. They keep life interesting and you need both in your life at different times for different reasons.
