If You Were Who You Were Meant To Be, What Would Happen?

Homily from the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome.

If you were what you were meant to be, you would set the world on fire.

There are some things that are dedicated...consecrated to be something special. They are meant to be something unique. Others merely used to be something unique. Which one am I?
