There’s no need for you to imitate anybody else; they already exist. Be Yourself! Do you want to be just like your colleague?
Be Yourself
If the Creator wanted two identical colleagues, then He would have created a copy of the first. If the Creator needed another person just like your neighbor, then He would have immediately created two of them.
He never cloned somebody, so why would you? Every snowflake is different. Creation is not duplication.
Instead of copying an existing model, He created a whole new YOU! Why?
Because He needs you to be just the way you are! Why bother and try to be somebody else?
Don’t imitate others. Observe them, learn from them, but don’t try to be like them. Learn their skills but then implement them in your own life and move forward on your own road.
Because you are walking your own road, you cannot follow the footsteps of somebody else, nor can someone else walk your road for you. They have their road, you have yours.
Why did the Creator give all of us different fingerprints, different ears, different noses? Wouldn’t it have been much easier for Him to make all of us out of a single mold?
One model; no differences, no comparisons. He could have done it, but He didn’t. Why not? Apparently He needs us to be individual. He needs us to be different.
Certainly this fact adds to the pleasure of the game. If all the characters in the play were alike, then it wouldn’t be much fun to watch.
He surely likes us all to be different. And He surely needs us all to be different!
Given the undisputed fact that we are all different, why would you try to be like somebody else?
Why change your looks or your body with plastic surgery? Why not be happy with the way you are? I’m not just talking about appearance, but also about talents. Character.
Everybody is unique. While longing for talents you don’t have, you are neglecting those talents that you do have. This is rather counter-productive, no?
There is no coincidence. Everything in the universe exists for a reason. You are not talented by accident!
Neither is it haphazard that you don’t have some talents you would like to have.
If you don’t have a nightingale voice, you were not meant to sing. You can do something else with your life according to the talents you do have, and leave the singing to someone who is naturally equipped for that.
If you have no acting talents, you should not act. If you weigh too much, you’d better start dreaming about something else than being a fashion model.
Another undisputed fact is that everybody is gifted with his or her own unique talents.
Make no mistake! Talents are not only about activities like singing, acting, dancing, painting, writing or excellence in sports.
Your unique talent could be your spontaneity, your enthusiasm, your connection with animals, caring for the disabled, your generosity, being a good teacher or public speaker, being a loving community member, or being a good problem solver.
It could be your capacity to love, your natural joy, your brilliance, intelligence, easily assimilating new languages, radiating beauty, having a funny way of expressing yourself, making others laugh, kindness, tenderness, and many more.
The list of possible talents is very, very long indeed…
What matters in the end is for you to be yourself, right? To be yourself is to find out what your unique talents are. Unique, you say? Others are spontaneous too!
Plenty of people are generous or friendly. True, but your uniqueness lays in the combination of your key talents.
Find out what your prominent talents are and how you can put them together. In the synergy and alignment of your key talents lies the beauty of your uniqueness.
It would be a big waste of time trying to be someone else. You are at your best being yourself!
The world needs you as you are, exactly as you are! Dare to be yourself. The more you dare to be yourself, the more freedom you will feel.
The more freedom you feel, the more you will dare. Daring and freedom support each other to re-create your unique self in an ever expanding celebration of Life. Your life.
I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very short for novices. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
In it something is. Thanks for an explanation. I did not know it.
