If being them makes you happy, then you are not complete.
It is very important to know that we are created in the image and likeness of God, therefore, you must see yourself in God’s image, seeing yourself in Gods image makes you a complete being.
However, with the waves moving around, so many people seem to have forgotten that themselves without looking at someone else and be happy.
It is a good thing to love and appreciate people, it is good when we have good mentors, role models, and other sets of people we look up to. But what needs to be taken into consciousness is the ability not trying to be them.
You might seem to ask, oh, I love this person, this person depicts what I want in a human. This person is perfect, so why can’t I be them?
WHY YOU CAN’T BE THEM
Have you ever wondered what happens when you try to be someone else and you can’t meet up to the expectations?
When you can’t meet up to expectations and it is so much in view that you are trying to be someone else, you will be mocked, I mean greatly mocked.
Having been created in God’s image, to live according to God’s plan for your life, because you are a carrier of his image.
You might begin to wonder, why can’t I be someone else since that person is a carrier of God’s image. While God created us in his image, he has set in us a programmer that directs our steps in different aspects of our lives.
Why you can’t be them makes the world so beautiful as we tend to have varieties of the plans of God.
A few years back, I had always seen myself as someone who needs to be others to be noticed, I always want to do what others are doing to be noticed.
Note this, it is a very beautiful thing to see a beautiful trait in someone and get to emulate it. But it is very disastrous to want to be that person in particular.
It is depressing. I tried to do exactly what others are doing, I tried to be them but I realized that as much as I try, I set into depression, pain, and anger.
Trying to be someone else also leads to envy and jealousy, which makes you lack self-esteem because you begin to see yourself as not been enough, you begin to feel like the whole world is against you, when in the reality, you are the one against yourself.
WHY YOU SHOULD BE YOU AND NOT THEM
You see, the adage that says beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder is never wrong. Yes, people will love you for who you are, they will cherish you because this is who you are and this is what you represent.
You should be you because you carry what no one else carries, so by the time you want to carry what someone else is carrying, what you carry leaves you, and you become a container filled with unpleasant content.
