"how good you want to be"

As individuals, it’s really hard to comprehend our own personalities especially in today’s world. Undoubtedly, most of the time, we don’t know what we want to be when we grow up, why we are here, and what our goals and purpose in life are. At some point in our lives, we all have been experiencing anxiety and uncertainty about our identity and our role as human beings. Our true characters slowly fade away because we let other people control and manipulate us without realizing that we are almost losing ourselves heedlessly.

On the other hand, as we grow up, we meet different people from low and high in the society. We encounter a bunch of challenging problems and happenings that help us in defining ourselves better. Ultimately, we look up to people who keep on inspiring us in exceptional ways so we tend to follow their footsteps. This is true because of the fact that we want to be like them and we want to feel appreciated in the society just like them. With this, you have to ask yourself two things: is that what you really want to be or do you just wanna be a mere copy of somebody else? Seriously, there is a big difference when we say “I wanna be like him” and “This is what I want to be.”
