Gods work is done trought the capabilities of his children. So be the best you can be and always strive to be better and more improved beyond the person you was before. Aspire beyond the impossible because like an old computer that's not up to current day performance, if you are not the best you can be then you cannot download solutions to your subjective experience as a human bieng so if you are not capable then you could never experience the truth, you can never experience God.
Better than what? Are you trying to be better with drawing,math, science or just exactly what? Then better than who?
Well I did say subjective to each his own but I believe consciousness will enevitably conform in a uniform goal that will be mutually beneficial to all and the desire for power and dominance will become a waste of conscious energy all is one 1/72 universal growth.
