Be Yourself

The biggest challenge in life is being yourself… In a world trying to make you like everyone else.

Seeking validation in a world where we are dependent on another has become a man's biggest challenge. An employer wants you to be a certain type before you are given a job, and certain people want you to dress a certain way, speak in a certain style, agree to a certain belief, or present yourself in one particular way before they render assistance. It's no longer about who we are, but who they want us to be in order to have their assistance.

What makes us unique is our diversity-able to reach one goal in different ways, but the world wants to mold us into who we are not, making us struggle to survive in an environment unfamiliar to who we are. The world has categories people into certain groups, making one look superior over the other, not minding the fact that our privileges, background, socioeconomic status, and personalities differ. It compares us with people who it believes have greater survival rate with people who they see to be weaker, putting everyone under duress to prove themselves to be of equal strength and ability.

It takes wisdom to understand your place and remain unchanged. We are not the same and can never be, our personalities differ, so is our style of accomplishing a goal. Be yourself in a world that tries to transform everyone into someone else, people who win are people who strive through the challenges of rejections until they prove their uniqueness to the world. We can never have the like of you, you become lost once you sought to be like someone else, because there'll never be another of him. The world celebrates uniqueness, but first, it allows you to go through the challenge of trying to make you like someone else. Your victory lies in being yourself and never settling for less.
