This little light of mine…
…can’t shine if yours is brighter.
Even the “successful” people fall prey to this. They dedicate their lives studying and copying other successful people.
We went from: What would Jesus do? to What would Marcus Aurelius do?
And because we’re living in this weird time where everything is documented and copy-able, its seen as good practice to emulate your favorite dead person.
I don’t believe your success if your life shadows someone else.
The fact that so many of these people, still wealthy and seemingly successful, hold onto dear life proves they don’t really live.
“I want to live forever” is a disguise for “I don’t live at all”.
No one who copies other people lives fully– they’re disconnected from who they are and thus what they’re meant to do.
I’ve coined this phrase: Destiny thieves. People who copy other successful peoples path, and sacrifice their own in the process. Trading your light, your sun, to become a planet in someone else’s orbit.
Fangirling is at best, a hobby, don’t make a career out of it.
The type of fulfillment that comes from being connected to your work isn’t something that can be manufactured.
It hits different.
So, forget “what would turd do” and ask yourself what could I do?
The call is for those who hear it.
