Be
yourself. Who else is better qualified? -Frank J. Giblin ll
People waste much of their time trying to
be like others. Instead of emulating some positive aspects of their lives, they
try to be like them completely. They want to be like some great men and women
out there. Probably, like so many great stars, but are neglecting their own
great attributes. They are neglecting their own uniqueness. Forgetting the fact
that no two people have exactly the same thing all through. You can only add
part of some great men works to yours, for extraordinary exploits.
Be the best of yourself. Some people hide
under the umbrella of pretense. Don’t try to pretend who you are not. Just be
who you are, not who you are not. When you try to be like others, you lose a
lot of unique things about yourself. Ordinarily, you might actually downgrade
yourself and what you possess. Try to be that person you see, when you go close
to a mirror.
I once read the story of a cub that
accidentally grew up among other wild animals. It tried being like them in
behavior and way of survival. Often time, a lion comes to threaten the whole of
the animals in their territory together with the cub. The cub noticed that, it
has similar structure and roar almost like the lion, which threatens them. One
faithful day, when the lion came again to threaten the other animals and the
cub, the rest of the animals ran away as usual, but the cub stayed back and
watched the lion as it approaches. The lion roared, and the cub roared back at
the lion. Both of them came close and smelled each other. The cub followed the
lion back to its territory. That was how the fearful cub discovered it real
nature and origin. And began operating on its true nature, If only the cub
never discovered it real self, it would have remained foolish and fearful like
the other wild animals. Not knowing, it contains giant abilities in it to lead
and control other animals in the bush.
Perhaps, you are like the cub. You might be
Feeling comfortable and convenient with becoming like others. Some peoples
dream is to be like others, not to be like themselves. Whenever you develop the
passion of becoming like anyone, you’re indirectly caging your abilities. The
cub was a potential lion to be and a potential leader of other animals. But
ignorantly, neglected it uniqueness and attributes and began copying other
animal’s lifestyle. That led the cub to become a slave, rather than a master.
You are the better person qualified to be
yourself. Just try and imagine you never came into this world. Who do you think
would be you? Who do you think is better qualified to be that person you’re
now? If peradventure, you never existed in this world. Do you think there would
be someone that will be exactly like you in all aspect of life, not just
physiological or morphological structure and would carry out the exact
assignment you ought to accomplish here on earth? Have you once asked yourself
if it was a mistake you were yourself now? Probably, wishing if you were
someone out there you admire and so much like their lifestyle. Let me announce
to you that, there is no and there will never be anyone exactly like you. You
can have so many people that are looks like you, but not you.
