Catch me if you can.

Do you really want to try? why would you? do we have the same destination? Would you be given an award if you caught up with me? Well, I hope your answer is no all the way. I'll need an extra guard if you had any reason to nod a yes.
The truth is we all got our own stage, our own purpose, our own dreams and our own stories. We cross each others' part at different points along the way, but I can't be you, neither can you be me. The misery of our uniqueness takes a lifetime to unravel, so does the simplicity of our being. Sometimes it's complicated, sometimes it's too simple we miss out on it. All these puzzle make us get tired of discovering ourselves, we just find it easy being somebody else, especially someone who has 'made it', how easy to want to follow suit- maybe we'll land where they are or just better. It's great to have mentors, heroes are cool too- but we ought not to forget that we got something distinct to offer. May be the same cause, but because it's you, you'll do it differently, a different approach, a lovely initiative, an out of the world strategy to make our world a better place. Yea, our world- that's the reason for your uniqueness. We came with different flavors, we got to respect each others' differences.

The path to self discovery is hard, might sound blunt but that's the truth- if you've gone that way you'll agree with me. First you'll have to come to terms with who you are, then you'll have to learn to silence those who want to tell you who you should be or can't be. We got bullies everywhere, not just in the elementary schools. Spouses bully each other, so do bosses their subordinates, friends bully strangers, adults do same to younger ones behind them. How's this going to stop? We need to let each other be. When you need to step into another person's world to be of help, do it in such a way that they can say of no doubt that you came to help them, not to pull them down. We shouldn't leave anyone feeling less of themselves, not in our words, not in our attitude. 
God help you to survive the pressures of others and yourself to be who only God knows. We need clarity of mind to be able to work it all out. we can't be laid back with our lives, we have to be seekers, learning to connect with our inner man- yep, the man inside of you got a lot to tell you about you!. freaky uhm. The you in the mirror is not all about you. Be patient to listen- let me share how I get in touch with my inner man- I talk with God, and I talk with me. It's a relationship with my designer and maker- this in itself is a journey, but a worthwhile one. He keeps me in perspective all the time, through his words and presence. It can't be described fully, it is best experienced. For more inquiries on how to talk with your designer, you can read more life stories from the book called the bible- it's our user manual.
The point in a statement; quit trying to be another person, pay the price to discover you and make the world a better place when you do.
