Day 64 of wisdom
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
It's been said that, "if you walk in the footprints of others, you wouldn't make any of your own", wanting to become someone else, is one of the greatest injustices you can bring upon yourself, because there would be nobody to be you. There may be a lot you admire in someone you regard very highly, and you wish to be like them, the truth is, it is difficult, but if you eventually do you would not last, because copies fade fast, and easily.
Being original is also a difficult thing to do in this age and time, as there may be pressure from friends, family, and loved ones to be someone, or something other than yourself. Staying true to yourself is the best gift you could ever give to yourself, it is the greatest accomplishment you could ever achieve. If you do not live your life, pursue your dreams, and become what you are destined to become, you would not know what you can become, you would not know how great you could be, and the heights you could get to.
It is only when you live your life without succumbing to societal pressures of becoming someone else, that you can explore the hidden treasures, and the great possibilities that is ahead of you. Samuel Johnson once said, "no man was ever great by imitation", so, if you will be great, be original.
