Do you wish to be someone else?

Maria Duval - Wishing to beThose football fans around the world witnessed something magical from Lionel Messi this week. He scored 4 goals in a vital European knockout match to propel his team to the semi finals. As an avid sports fan, I know he is going to be one of the greatest players for in history. Do you wish that you are him? Well, it's not something to feel ashamed wishing to be like someone outstanding. Everyone of us wishes to be like someone else.

The only thing unhealthy is that it is detrimental to your heart and soul to think that you are someone else all the time. When are you going to be yourself? If you live your life as someone else, you would never have the chance to do what you want to do! You have to live up to the expectation of other people.

A lot of precious personal resources is wasted if you keep wishing you are someone else every day, like time, goals, effort and money, especially the latter, which someone may overspent to keep up with the lifestyle of his idol who he or she can never match in lifestyle.

In the end, when you realise that, years could have passed by and now you could be too old to do something. That's a common excuse used.

So my take it, you can dream be someone glamorous, but it would be fatally wrong to indulge your senses into it. So, live for your own true self, NOW!
