Lately, I've been reflecting on life and I've come to a realization. In today's generation, many people are trying to be someone else. We're reading, working, and striving to emulate others, neglecting our own authenticity. We forget that the people we admire and try to imitate were simply being themselves.

Theories and principles have been formed around the lives of these authentic individuals, and now it's become a blueprint for success. But in the process, we're losing ourselves. Everyone is trying to be someone they're not, and it's affecting our self-discovery.

Don't get me wrong, reading about others for productivity and inspiration is valuable. However, when we try to pattern our lives after someone else's principles just because they were successful, it can be misguided.

This mentality permeates every aspect of our lives, from our education to our social and religious norms, even influencing our ethics and laws. We're shaping our present and future based on how others lived and thought, rather than forging our own paths.

I find it concerning that we're trying to fit into the mold of those who came before us, rather than embracing our own uniqueness. It's time for us to focus on being ourselves, rather than trying to be someone else.
