Stop fighting the Hardest Battle!
The world we live in today is filled with too many duplicates and uncertainty that has also stylishly strolled into the very vein of humans. We fail to understand the importance of being just no one but ourselves.
Go back and take a look at the quote again, "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting."
How in the hell would you want to be someone else when uniquely and blessed, the Almighty God created you for your own purpose?
Has man's acceptance of himself lost all importance in the state of things? Will you rather be a man without a face than a man with a face you know?
Anonymity never truly has its place in the state of affairs a man strives to achieve.
You must be first, a person before you become an anonymous entity because without that, you will never find the divide between what is real and what isn't and then, what the world wants you to be and believe is real.
Many think the hardest battle is one of survival, not knowing it is one that involves them striving tirelessly to become a cardinal part of someone else's bread crumb trail that leads to nowhere rewarding for them.
Since I joined Steemit, I have had many persons pray to be like Ned Scott or Dan Larimer, some have even prayed and fasted to be like Mark Zuckerberg and you and i know that is not EVER gonna happen.
I do not want to be anybody because it is their identity; I am happy I am ME and want to keep being me. Being me is the reason why I have been able to find time to do something meaningful for community because, I stopped fighting the hardest battle even before I was born into mother earth. I stopped fighting to be You and stayed comfortable with being ME.
What is the most important aspect of that individual's life that makes you think you need to stop being you? Are you making the best of your time finding the real you?
Life is made of various persons and substances and when one fails to function as they are created to, there always is a lag in the fabric of existence that takes time to fill.
Be you and do not be me. Stop fighting the hardest battle and make the world come alive with your script.

Reminds me of a quote I wrote sometime,
"No matter how hard you try to be someone else, you'd always remain a copy. Be the best version of your self, there's only one of you."
I love your quote
Thank you :)
The very crux of the matter is that as far back as BC man has always been and will always be "...fighting the hardest battle...".
It takes a gumption, tenacity and verve to fight inferiority complex and to meet societal needs and standards of this present age.
Howbeit, it is worth to note that man had lost even the most simplest of battle - because of fashion, technology et al" man" wants to be like a special animal (can you imagine that?) - this is buttress in the fact that "man" mates with animals, and the latest discovery is that certain individuals now cut their tongue to look like that of a snake (you can watch it on YouTube or Google it).
Thank you @ejemai for awakening us from our subconscious through this motivational piece.
Truly yours,
@samueloption
This is what " living your life " truly stands for.
Get yourself standing before the mirror and see who you are, so that when next you're out, you don't seem to behave like the reflection of someone else. Thanks for this @ejemia.
I feel so motivated!

Thank you boss @ejemai for this early morning motivation. It pays to be yourself than to try be someone else. Everyone is unique in his/her own way. Yes, I am blessed
There is absolutely no point imitating another fellow.
The sky is so large that we all can soar high at any point in time.
I believe having a mentor is cool but leaving your dream life is even much more better
I think also its good to imitate the good people however not to pretend to be who you are not! Good to be yourself. Thanks
"I don't want to be you", i can't be you but i want to be more than you. I will aspire because you inspire me. I think i am free to have a role model or mentor but not necessarily wanting their shoes. I look up to them, i admire their achievements. They fuel my passion not to give up. @ejemai, i want to be me through you
What a great motivation!!!
And the outcome of trying to be someone else might be walking in circles. The world needs to see this article.
Well said @ejemai
My spit has been elated through this motivational write-up.
This made my morning.
Good morning
TGIF!
A word is enough for the wise
Thanks @ejemai for this post
