THE UNIQUE YOU

in #steemstem6 years ago

As we journey through life, we are often tempted to hide under the shadow of others. We want to be like others. We look at others and we see a better individual and this affects our perception of life. A lot of people look at themselves as not being good enough. They tell themselve "I can not do it" or " that other person is better than I am, go on ahead an pick her". When would we ever break up from our cocoon and becom that betterfly which the world has awaited. That butterfly with beautiful wings that adds beauty to its environment and also pollinate the flowers that also adds beauty to the environment. U are unique and different from any other human in the whole world. There is something you can do in your own way, that no other person can do, so why hide your gift from nature, why hide under the shadow of others. Many people prefer not to try, than to try and fail. Tell you what, it is better to try and fail and at the end succeed than never to try at all. Trying and not exactly succeeding gives you an experience which someone who didn't try will never have.
Our lives are a product of our choices, hence we ought to make the right decisions always. One thing every individual who wants to succeed needs to do is to find him/herself i.e. to find out what works for you. This is because what works for someone may likely not work for you and even if it does, it wouldn't produce maximum result as what is uniquely yours. A major problem we have is that we want to make it big at the first shot, but we often forget that life is step by step an as someone would say "life na jeje". Start small, work on small and see your self making it big. Finding ourselves is not so easy as we are often carried away by others and what we seeing our immediate environment. But persistence an patience are the keys to this discovery. Focus is also very paramount.
In conclusion, if you haven't started living a life that is authentically yours, then you still have a chance to do so. Go back, look inwards and find that beautiful, wonderful and spectacular individual hiding in there. Only then can you contribute your own quota to humanity and make the world a better place because, it's up to me and you to make the world a better place for all.

Trying to hide under the shadow of others is simply low self esteem and it is a psychological issue
