I ask myself why is there so much obsession on celebrities. We tend to focus on their achievement rather than learning from the obstacles they faced towards succeeding,and how they won the battle. Every celebrity had to start somewhere. They had their downfalls.
I always pass a joke and say to people we are all celebrities. Some look at me with shock. The difference between us and them is that they appear on television, magazines and we listen to them on radio. What makes us clebrities is our uniqueness. As a twin, I could speak like my sister, walk like her but I will never be her.
Celebrities are human, we went to school with them, we used to stand at the corners with them, we went to church with them, we even shared and rented flats with them. They were our neighbours and still are.
We identify too much with them to a point where we loose ourselves in the process. That leads to obsession.We are all born unique and different. There is nothing wrong with being a fan, seeing a celebritiy as a mentor, but you cannot be that person. All you can do is learn from celebrities and move on.
STOP shadowing celebrities, Live your life. You are an ORIGIONAL born to CREATE!
