BEING LIKE SOME ONE ELSE ? Be Yourself vs. Being Somebody Else.
If you desire something which is impossible, you are ensuring lifetime frustration for yourself. Let me give you some examples of such desires
Instead, I would like to advise you to desire what is possible and then follow your desires with all your courage and conviction. If your desires are possible, the same desires can lift you to higher level and give you so much of a joy.
"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference."
Don’t Try To Be Someone Else, Just Be Yourself
This is more than enough to succeed in your life and be happy.
Comparing Yourself To Others Is A Monumental Trap
It seems obvious that you will compare yourself to people who have been more successful at a given time than you. Indeed, man always seeks to aim higher. By making these comparisons, your problems will begin. You will find that some of your classmates or people you considered to be of the same level as you in the past have done better.
They have a better house, a better car, a better woman or a better man… In short, you have the impression that they have done better than you simply!
Once you have made this bitter observation, you will ask yourself the following question:
What do I have less than those people who have done better?
Since there is no real satisfactory answer to this question, you will be looking for an answer for a very long time. By not finding a real answer, you will start observing the behavior of these people in order to look like them.
