Be You, Not Somebody Else

"To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you somebody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." ~ e. e. cummings

Are you nobody but yourself? Really? Think about it, are you yourself? Well, "Of course" you say, but look deeper. Is that really you saying that or is your parents, your teachers, your buddies? The world is trying to make everybody the same. Even the government is trying to make sure that everybody has equal results, rather than equal opportunity. Don't be someone else! Be You!

Be Yourself! Why? Cause everybody else is taken!!!
When you try to be like someone else, you are nothing more than a cheap imitation of the original.  Why would you want to be that?  Some people say, "you can succeed if you do what I did."  The problem with that is, you are not them, so even if you do everything they tell you to do, your results will be different because you are you and not them.

You have a unique gift to give to the world. If you don't give your gift to the world, the world will never get to see that gift, because only you can give it to the world.

This is the biggest fight that you will ever have and it will be against the world and yourself. The key is to never stop fighting the battle to be you. You will want to sometimes just give up, but that is when you are almost there. Never stop fighting the battle to be you. Don't let the world win.

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!
