Wannabe

Remembered that I wrote some time ago about being a 'wannabe' and that it is not only about trying to be someone else; it is also being someone u're not. Do we all try to do this at some time or another? Trying to be someone we're not? I know I did.

What happened yesterday made me realised some things. That there are different types of people in this world after all. Have I been too naive in the past? Right from the start, it already seemed that they would win. Yet I still hoped that perhaps the underdogs would come out victorious in the end. Didn't that always happen in movies? But life isn't some Hollywood movie. And reality does hurt. Wonder why the company would have to do that kind of thing. To give people hope when they already knew who they would choose eventually.

Let's just call the winning group Grp A. The people in this group were really outspoken and i guessed they could present very well too. Though I've not heard them presenting before, it was the image they protrayed that basically says it all. And Grp B, the underdogs. They were really friendly, approachable and nice. So what if they can't present as well as Grp B? But I supposed that's what marketing is all about. Not just substance but also presentation.

Just face it, not everyone is able to be as smart or to be able to present as well. But is that cause for despondence? Are these the things that make up our identities? What is it that really matters? When we finally reached the top after striving so hard, would we come to realise that there isn't anything there after all?

Slowly, I'm beginning to realise that I should not try to be someone I'm not but just accept myself for who I am inside. Maybe it's only then would I be able to be the person that God had created me to be. I'm know that we are all made for a reason and we are all special to Him. Instead of trying to do things my way all the time, why am I not letting Him take control?
