"Why would you want to be like someone else? It's exhausting just trying to be yourself."- Cigna ad
I find inspiration in many things. I saw this ad printed on a T-shirt in a magazine I was reading. The words resonated with me.
Often we see someone do things we admire, dress the way we wish to, and we try to imitate. However, we are never as good as the original. A clumsy imitation.
I guess it is simply human nature to try to improve ourselves by adapting portions of others. Hell, that might be the secret to the survival of the human race. If we were very different and broke away from the herd easily we would have gotten eaten.
However, we should understand what makes us cool. What makes us original? This should be our lifetime effort. Copying portions of others gives us a glimpse of what we like but drilling inside is the key to being yourself most often.
Today's question is:
"What is the true you inside of you?"
