A niche is what most folks need. Just a niche. Not a tiny hidden obscure hole. A niche is a part of the whole. It is often the missing element of success which no one else has provided. Sometimes it is the driving force and sustaining piece of their sought after success. More often it is the same thing someone else is doing, somewhere else, to a different degree; but it needed to be done in this place, by them, in their way. God has designed someone to fill that specific niche.
Ray Crock filled a niche with a twenty five cent hamburger. Thomas Edison filled a niche. Henry Ford, Hank Aaron, Ronald Reagan, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Successful folks are recognize for the niches they fill. Mother Theresa filled a niche as did Billy Graham. Do you believe Jesus had anything to do with their niche? These are the ones we commend because over their lifetime they have found and filled a niche in remarkable ways.
So, they have theirs nailed down. It is your turn. Which niche does God mean for you to fill? Where is it? What is it? Will you get rich or lie among the lepers? You are unique; so is your niche. Find it and fill it without wondering if anyone else will notice. If you find it they will not be able to avoid noticing it. Be the mom, be the dad, be the artist, be the scholar, be the athlete, be the innovator, be the friend, be the filler of your niche. The list is endless; your time is not. Do it now. Quietly loudly, ostentatious, meekly, boldly, whatever, just find it, fill it and be who you were destined to be. I am having the time of my life being who I am today. I’d sure like to hear you say the same.
