A Square Peg In A Round Hole.
When
you find yourself in a world with all sorts of images and several kinds of
influences constantly trying to forge something out of you, being yourself
becomes a challenge. There are many facts and influences trying to pattern
people into something other than themselves. No one lives another man’s life.
People are always shown or told what an ideal person should be and look like.
This comes in many different forms. It could be through the media: Television,
Magazines, and Internet. We are shown what the “sexiest woman” or the “sexiest
man” alive looks like yet no one knows the parameters which were employed in order
to ascribe such a title. Well, that may not really be a problem in itself. What
is even more vital is that, people behold these images (especially young
people) and before long, they start chasing shadows and trying so hard to be
someone else or fit into some unknown parameters so as to measure up or get
some vane satisfaction from a sense of fake worth. This could also result to a
faulty thinking which could leave someone feeling that they may be lesser,
unfortunate or do not possess special qualities like those who may appear great
and appealing to them. This is so not true! We are all valuable, unique and
gifted in many different ways. It’s true we may have different backgrounds,
situations, Destinies etc but then anyone can be successful and be the best
that they can be if they take the right path.
In
another light, being inspired, motivated or looking up to a role model doesn’t
translate to wanting to be someone else order than you. It’s ok to aspire to be
like another great person and not them. Wanting to be like someone is different
from wanting or wishing you were that person. That could result to someone
undermining their worth and value and thinking that, another is more unique,
valued or gifted. The fact that one person isn’t gifted in the same way like
another doesn’t make them any lesser of a human. We are all gifted uniquely.
Some
hallow in low self-esteem, self-pity and sometimes uphold crazy fancies of
being someone else order than them for whatever reasons. And it’s just a pity
because that is a really dysfunctional place to be in and when you find
yourself in such a place, it becomes difficult for you to make any reasonable
progress with your life. It’s indeed, a place where no one should stay in.
Every
human being has great valued. Your life is as valuable as mine so, don’t get
things twisted. The accomplishments, fame, success etc someone as attained
doesn’t make them anymore valuable than another. It doesn’t matter is you are
the “Most Successful man alive” and if you are we applaud you for that but that
doesn’t make you an upgraded human being value wise.
