Why break the mold? Breaking the mold defines who you are. We often hear and say these words, but do you truly believe it? Do you believe that each step you take leaves a footprint on your journey toward your promise? Even your fingerprint is unique to you, unlike anyone else’s. Accordingly, breaking the mold is a deliberate act for you from the beginning.
The Mold – Deliberate in Time
First, you are in the realm of what is called “time.” Creatively, the designer intentionally places you within the framework of time. Designing for you was a pleasant experience. Moreover, to elevate God’s purpose, time is a part of your process (Ecclesiastes 3:1). It is the concept that you will operate to fulfill His plan. This means it will be given to you at the appointed time for the designated individuals to complete the assigned tasks. The designer did not make a mistake. Even though leaving certain things in the past to accomplish tasks is part of the reasonableness of time. God wants to break the mold. He is the one who wants to make our efforts successful (Psalm 90:17) and knows your season. To him, a thousand years is equal to one day (Psalm 90:4).
The Mold as Ripe Fruit
Ripe fruit is sweet to the taste. At certain times, it is ready to harvest. Since the planter knows its harvesting season, the fruit is now ready for use. For the individual, refreshing oneself is like ripening a fruit. Thus, relying on the designer to plant you in the right place at the right time will yield sweet fruit. Thus, you break the mold. You are different!
Mold Imitation
Striving to imitate another person will diminish your potential as an original. Although you may sprout, you will not come to full bloom. You will not blossom so that others may grow better. You are better when you grow others around you. Furthermore, nothing beats the sight of an original. It leaves a legacy. It is timeless. Equally important to the value of an original experience. For instance, people listen to the original’s lessons and experiences. Others learn from those experiences. It is the original steps that give others the appreciation of others, not the imitation.
