This morning, I was watching Man of Steel and as most of you already know, Superman is the character star of this movie.
Seeing him do things heightened my emotions and I had no idea when I wished to be like him too.
The exact statement I made was: 'Kai to be Superman good oh. I wish I was Superman.'
But then, I realized that becoming Superman is not actually an easy thing to do for me, taking into consideration the responsibilities and all other things attached but that's not the point anyway.
Here's my point:
Most of us are like this - always wanting to be like someone else and when the journey of wanting to be like someone else gets tough, we give up and retire to square zero.
It's absolutely right if you want to imitate or try to copy an admirable quality in someone else but it's absolutely wrong to try to be like them even if it's your role model or mentor.
Probably they've been through a lot, made sacrifices, done lots of things and handles huge responsibilities you're not yet ready for.
It's not as if they're better than you but your destinies differ and the weight of responsibility handed down to every man differs. This is very evident in the Parable of the Talents.
So you may or may not possess the capacity to handle the weight of someone else's destiny. In fact, you cannot!
Superman can never be Batman and Batman can never be Superman. They have their own destinies, character and uniqueness but they are all Superheroes and the sky is open for them to defeat their Villains and make a name for themselves.
In the same vein, you must be your own Superhero, identify your own Superpower and defeat your own villain.
Discover yourself, your uniqueness and potential for that is where your own greatness and purpose lies.
You can to an extent do what people do to pay the price for true greatness but it is entirely different from trying to be exactly like them.
You cannot be like them but you can learn their accurate success strategy, learn from their own story, analyze & implement what you get in tandem with your uniqueness and personality.
We are all still learning & by God's grace, we have the ability to distinguish between truth and error and to critically discern matters of life to a certain degree; to hoow much we have invested in our minds.
But the bottomline is that you cannot be like someone else.
In conclusion, 'Be your own Superhero & stop wearing the mask of someone else because it may not end well if you don't'.'
Thanks for reading this article, Consider leaving a thumbs up below and look forward to my next piece.
we realize that we cannot be batman or superman, since we have other abilities, or powers that they do not have, which are the genesis of our own power, up to the point of view, to fight for justice.
