I tend to like to describe myself like a copycat. Definitely not because i copy in examination or what but because i tend to adopt a lot f feature of my past leaders.
Call it highly receptive to influence or what, when i learn more from a particular leader, i tend to behaviour around the same as that particular leader. For example there were one time my direct leader is highly dominating. Those that know me will understand that i am actually not really a high D kind of person but rather high C. So somehow, because of my frequent interactions with the high D person, i start to be really dominating in expecting work done. It appears nothing wrong at first but when my high D and high C comes together in the same picture, not many people can tahan it. But honestly speaking, i have a lot of fun then.
Then when i was with another leader, i again adopted his art of cold jokes and there was a season i will purposely introduce cold jokes. Not as successful as i am not at that level yet, but this just go to show how easy i can pick up things.
Now, why do i share these? Well, since one of my trademark is the ability to trace the positive point of others, i tend to use it for my spiritual life as well.
"What did that person do to experience God in this way"
"How long did he persevere in order to see break through in his life"
So far, i have seen some slight success in my life through copying what others do. But i also know that God has made every life special, and their experience unique. There could be similarity, but it will not be totally the same.
To me, the hardest to "copy" is Jesus. I mean, in my current state, how to i even come close to copy Him? I am not talking about His power but the way He lives His life. But one thing i do know is that as i radically turn my ways towards Him, someday, i too can reflect of what Jesus will look like to others.
Looking forward to that day that i can "copy" Jesus.
Hope you have a nice day ahead!
