In 30 June, 1985, a baby boy is born.
He has ADHD, his arms span (201cm) and torso are a little too long for his height (193cm) and his legs are a little to short. As he grows, his feet becomes bigger. It reaches size 14. His ankles are hypermobile, able to bend at an abnormal angle; an angle more than a ballet dancer's pointe. What a child...
But this child became someone great. He may be the greatest athlete alive today. He is Michael Phelps.

His long and thin torso and relatively shorter legs create less drag in water. His long arms become his long propulsive paddles and his hypermobile ankles act as flippers to propel him forward. Being different makes Michael Phelps great.
God makes everyone of us unique. We are made in a certain way so that we can excel in certain areas in our life. Instead of complaining how better we can look or how normal looking we should have been, maybe we should also start looking into the unique qualities that God has given us and make full use of them.
We can be great too!
