Chapter 1
Why are YOU scared to perform your speech in front of the class? This may seem to be rather odd, but the truth always matters more than the thought. The inspiration of the fear for the desire of recognition. Now, some of you may have never heard of this before but some of you may have. This is the unpleasant feeling of not achieving a constant sense of approval or acceptance in a group or community. But how is this an inspiration, well, knowing this is true can actually stimulate an individual into wanting to create something with their life, as the sense of realization that everybody around you is so desperate for another's approval can make you focus on yourself and ultimately make you outclass your peers.
The dire urge for self-improvement. On a day-to-day basis, you will notice many people seeking approval or doing things just for other people's sake this is ultimately crushing that seeker's potential as their priority is on someone else rather than themselves. Witnessing this is enough to want to improve yourself to an extent where you are so unique and inaccessible to a foul mindset like such that there is no potential chance that you could be trapped in a routine like a
"seeker".
The fulfillment of the purpose of life. A controversial and thought-provoking question will constantly be asked to ourselves through each stage of our life, and that is, "What is the purpose of life?" the generic answer that follows is always the same and that is, "Life is what YOU interpret it as"
*. Now, everybody will have a different answer to that but mine is, "The
purpose of life is difference". Difference is given to each and every individual but more often than not it is hidden. Difference can range from your clothing to your way of speaking but it strives on your personality. Displaying or reaching a point where you can express your personality with confidence is a great achievement that often goes unnoticed. It is what separates you from the normal or average person making you, you. Your personality is your most prized possession which deserves a substantial amount of gratitude.
YOU are guilty for the murder of yourself. Have you ever seen your idol or a famous celebrity living big and craved that reality? Well, what often happens is you were written to achieve even greater things and live even bigger than those celebrities but that reality fails to come to life and ultimately it is your fault. A person is not defined by their abilities but rather by their choices. If you knew your true capabilities you would make nothing but the correct choices as your potential self is worth more than temporary fun or happiness.
Taking all into account, the want for another's attention or approval has nothing but a downside for someone trying to make something of themselves. Rather, the want to be different than normal people and focus on yourself can result in a romanticized routine of self-improvement, fulfilling YOUR personal opinion on what the purpose of life is and saving yourself rather than murdering your potential. Escape the rat race that you are told is the right way and venture into life for what it is while expressing the differences that YOU have been granted. Thank you.
