This is a thought that enters my mind as frequently as it escapes it, there is nobody like you, and there never will be. You will meet people with similar interests of course, but they will never be a replica of who you are, completely. If I remember correctly, it was The Buddha that said âComparison is the thief of joyâ this quote has been ringing in my mind lately, and itâs something that I wish I had of heard early in my teen years, as well as one that says; âDesire is the root of all sufferingâ and Iâve heard these morals before, of course. However.. The simple repetitive line of âBe yourselfâ is not enough, to tap into the relevatory potential it beholds, the sentence is too simple and it doesnât leave enough of an impact. Perhaps thatâs a product of hearing it so much throughout life that itâs inevitably lost all meaning, but yet here I am, repeating it and writing some small essay about itâs profundity only at an older age. We completely lose track of ourselves, once we begin to compare ourselves to people we admire or begin to envy those who we admire because maybe theyâre in a relationship, maybe theyâve got a lot of charisma and friends, maybe they have attention and we subconsciously insert the mere possibility of what if, we had those things, what if we could be like that person, what if we had all of those things, without considering that happiness and fulfillment are found in different entities and value is added to your life, purely depending on the type of person that you are.
You may be broke, and a friend of yours may have a lot of money, but if you all that money that you wish you had like them, you would possibly begin to feel guilt for people less than you, because you know how it feels to be at a low like that, so the addition of this supposed fulfillment into your life, has only brought increased isolation and a purely fabricated fulfillment rather than the sheer joy and happiness that it so apparently promised. This is the danger of envy, and the danger of losing track of yourself.
You are worth everything, and anything, regardless of circumstance, and I urge everyone and anyone that reads this - If anyone does - to perpetually gain a deep and close understanding of the person that you are, and to cut off comparing yourself to anyone, and donât even take things like that into account when youâre trying to improve your life, seek out what wholly fulfills you as an individual, dig up your roots and understand what makes you tick. Not what will give other people the impression that youâre doing well, or that youâve improved your life. Through sincerity and sheer authenticity and fulfillment you will utterly shine, as a person and that is what will make people notice. In short, be yourself, and nobody else.
