Stop Keep Wishing You’re Someone Else


Have you wished that you are ………? It is not something to be ashamed of. Every one of us has been wishing we are someone else, once a while.


It is not so healthy to your mind and soul to think that you are someone else everyday. 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.


See what you have wasted if you keep wishing you are someone else every day:

- Time (wasting time to dream about things you do not have)

- Goals (have to adopt someone else’s goals)

- Effort (waste effort to realize other people’s goals)

- Money (waste money to keep up a lifestyle you cannot afford)


Finally, when you finally wake up to your own senses, ……. You’re aged! Your excuse for not able to achieve your own dreams is …… “I’m too old for that!”


So, live for your own true self, now!

Are you living for someone else?


Sometimes, it is difficult to understand ourselves. We do not even seem to know what we want all our lives. We never seem to ask ourselves this simple question .....

"What do I really want in my life?"

If we do ask, then, we never bother with the answer or answers. We are just too busy to see the truth. We are too busy to live up to other's expectation to even care whether we are really happy with what we are doing. In short ..... we are all like that 'Mr. Chen' in the previous post.

We are living for someone else. We are helping other people to achieve their dreams, but ours? We helped other to make decisions, but never ourselves. We are living to please others, but not ourselves.

It is really great to be able to please others. However, we also need to please ourselves. Our lives should not be ....."Everyone should like and approve of me if ...............". Because if so, we are ruining our own lives for the sake of others.

We damage our self-esteems in the long run. We will feel guilty, inadequent and start to blame others what we do not have. As we spent so much time in living for someone else, we have very little time and energy to invest in ourselves.

Are you living for someone else? Are you happy in doing so?
