Hugh Prather, an American self-help writer, most famous for his first book, "Notes to Myself" , lay minister, and a counselor says -
"You say you want to 'be somebody' then apparently you don't want to be yourself."
Each one of us our unique. Each one of us have strengths and weaknesses. We have to work on our strengths and weaknesses and improve ourselves.
We don't have to wait, to become somebody because we are already somebody.
Over the years, we will grow and change. But we'll never be more us than what we are right now.
Hence, for Today - Lesson no 2:
"I'll appreciate who I am and where I am in my life."

I don't want to be somebody. I am happy to be what I am. I do not want to emulate others, I want to be such a person that others could emulate me.

Nice post. Yes I really appreciate who I am and where I am in my life. I am proud of myself because I have been on much ups and downs in my life.

Everyone should really try to do this. They will enjoy life more if they can do this.

Yes, I am the one of the proof for this. When i was very depressed, one of my close friend told me, in fact taught me, "If you don't love yourself, then how do you expect others to love you." That's the time when I stopped blaming other for not loving me. That was great, a girl of my age can think so differently, unlike me.
So I love myself now. I know everybody loves me.
