If I am not me, then who am I?

In the early days of my life, I was trying to be like you. All I plan to be is like everyone else, I wanted being a Musician, an Author, a Motivational Speaker, a Pilot, an Artist, a Programmer, a Movie Star, an Activist, a TV Host, sometime I  even try to make my self a Photographer.

The stupid thing I kept on trying to do, was to be like every successful person I see on screen, read in a book or just heard about. I got my self troubling my mind every day, trying be a successful person that people will talk about, I didn’t care what is it that I will be, all I wanted is to BE SUCESSFUL!

Recently I began  to realize that in my quest to be successful, I was only trying to be like everybody, only to end up as Nobody! The fact is, I can never be everybody. God made us with differences in specialties, abilities, and even personal interests.

Take for instance, if I woke up today with a strong interest in becoming an artist in the future, I’d begin to learn how to draw. It will start to be fun with the passion I’d build for it. Suddenly, I switch on the TV only to see Angeline Joli in a session of TV review; then my whole plan changes and all I want to be, is a Movie Star.

But, even with the deepest analyses the two words “Me” and “You” are not the same and will never be, both in length, collection of characters, pronunciation and in fact even their meanings.

Mathematically:

ME != YOU

(ME is not equal to YOU)

So, why on earth do I want to be like you when i am me. Your life, your thoughts, your interest, your passion, your courage and even your ideas are entirely different from mine and should not interest me just because you are success with them. It’s always said “no two people are the same”.

If only I focus on my own thoughts, my true passion and ideas, What will I be?

Simply, I will be me and I will be successful! Because, all those people I see that interest me actually followed their own passions, their own minds and thoughts. They tried to be them and nobody else, that was why they succeeded.

“ Follow everyone else and you’d end up in a crowd! Can’t be seeing, can’t be identified, in fact you’re lost.

Follow your own way, you’d stand a side only to be seen, identified and fully found. “

So, now I am focusing not to be you but to be me! I have my own dreams, my own way of thinking, I am the captain of my own life. You may try to be like me if you want to, but I am no longer trying to be like you. I have my own path!

“ If you keep trying to be like someone else, the best you can ever be is second best. “

I set my new goals, my plans and the road I want to drive my life on (i define my path). I might not be you, but surely I will be ME. You could do the same, build your own path and follow it.

Life is all about choices, we’d make our selves whom we want to be.
