1 Samuel 16:7
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
This bible verses meaning is not to judge a person by their cover and too look deeper into their heart and be open to the fact that everyone has a story but it is up to you to listen to them and not just walk away because you don't like the look of them or you have heard rumours about them.
Romans 12:2
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
This bible verse is talking about people who conform, the bible verse is trying to say be yourself and be happy who you are, don't be a sheep and follow everyone else be you. It is also trying to say to embrace your own thoughts. use your own mind and thoughts and believe what you believe not what someone else believes and follow your heart and not copy then you will live a fulfilled life.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you. They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
This bible verse means that there is a destiny for you in your life there is a plan waiting for you in the threads of life and if you follow good ways your life will be rewarded with good things.

“If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself” Desiderata Max Ehrmann 1927
To me this poem is trying to say be happy in your own skin and it is saying not to compare yourself with others because then you will be dissatisfied with your self but if you are happy and love being you then you will be content.
