In this society of ours, it's pretty easy for people to lose themselves to newest fads and trends. Just go outside and there is basically advertising for everything from the latest gadget that has a 7G network and 5 GPS's to the newest piece of silk that would go great with your new $75 pair of suede heels.
Most people think that things like these make them have eternal happiness but news flash...within the next 24 hours something new pops up and now you got "old" equipment that obsolete and no longer cool. STOP!
Instead of trying to keep up with the latest and greatest, which is impossible, do you.
Now how do you "do you"? Well here is a few pointers...
- Don't try to be like anyone else: It's okay to have idols but there is only one you. You gotta go out there and make a path for yourself in order to define what kind of person you want to be seen and remembered as. Hundreds of people will come and go in your life...make a good impression. Do you really want to be seen as a 400 pound slob that does nothing but make paper airplanes out of 2 year old newspapers in the middle of Central Park? Yeesh...nightmares just thinking about that.
- Find what makes you...YOU: Are you creative? Do you like having fun by making others laugh? Is making computer programs your passion? Questions like these and actions towards answering them can make you much more passionate about life in general when you have something that you love doing at all times. Finding a passion can keep your head above the rocky waters...especially on those days where you feel worthless.
- Surround yourselves with +'s: People will betray you...it is a fact. Some people just don't want see others succeed; Get those scumbags out of your routine ASAP! You need to be surrounded with a good aura of positive energy not some douchebags from your local slums.
- Have some alone time...not 24/7: Now I know that some people that like being alone, there is nothing wrong with that but this could cause future problems with a lack of a social life, not being involved in a relationship, or even conquering all your goals and not having someone to share them with. We all need some time to ourselves but you also need some time to just be around other people doing things like wildin' out at a karaoke bar, playing video games to see who's the best at what, a girl's night out to their favorite salon, or even just poppin' a few bottles with friends and just chill.
In order to make yourself, you have to do you...nobody else.
