I want to become a doctor..I want to become one like Obama..I want to be like Bill Gates, I want to become one scientist..like kalam…and when we find them unapproachable we start comparing with the people around us, feel jealous and build negativity. We want to become something but have we have given a thought to the fact that why do we want to become what we want to become? No, we keep becoming someone else , we do not want to look bad to anyone, we want everyone to like us, we want that everyone should be impressed by us and when we see some famous person, we feel that yes everyone is impressed by them so let me also become like them and result is, we keep leaving a part of us behind and every time we keep compromising on self..then we become someone who is not us and we start living a pseudo life. We forget who we are and what we really wanted to be. Then one day we feel enlightened and we feel that what am i doing, this is not me, I would have never reacted the way I did and then we realize that we have been living a false life and we are trying to be someone who we are not. So we become someone else and live someone else’s life.
We forget that everyone is born unique and is blessed with unique talent. If we want to be unique, we need to find that uniqueness and then whole world would know you for who you are and would not ignore you as someone’s xerox copy. Why people ask for original as everyone can have xerox copies but original is retained only by the owner. So become the owner, do not become a copy. Stop living a false life, live the live you have desired and just be yourself.
