Ever had the experience of enjoying a beautiful song and someone suddenly turning off the music?
We exactly make someone feel the same when we try to shift from our individuality to become someone that we are not. It’s like stopping that beautiful unique song to play something that we cannot relate to, but only to fit in because everybody else is listening to that.

I’ve seen lots of people around me, who changed their choices in influence of others. What for?
Looking cool? Competing? To show there is nothing that you don’t know or do??
Love what you love. Leave things that you don’t. It’s beautiful to be your way.
It’s beautiful to love outings more than sitting at home or vice versa.
Its beautiful to love shopping than reading books or vice versa.
etc.. etc…
Basically its beautiful to maintain your roots.
Not accepting that you are enough the way you are leads to disappointment that we aren’t even aware of in first place.

Lots of people are sad these days, and when asked they don’t have any answer or most of the times the answer is “I don’t know, its just there”.
It’s funny that how easily we have accepted sadness, anger, jealousy as natural feelings and we are too lazy to look inside of us to heal ourselves. This kind of damage takes really long time to heal or sometime lifetimes.

\We are too occupied in this materialistic world, too busy getting influenced by others that we often forget to look inside of us, and take little care of us, we forget to strengthen our basic nature of love, peace and power.
Nobody in this world can change the fact that no two individuals in the world are same, then why try to be like anyone??
Why not be the person that you really are?
Why not to analyze yourself as much as you analyze that person who has any sort of influence on you?

There is nothing as beautiful as individuality, nothing as perfect as rawness, nothing better than being aware of who you are and totally enjoying every bit of it.

I think its important for us to have confidence in ourselves and stop mimicking like others be it an actor or anybody you are too fond of.
For that to happen, we should start with respecting others for their individual choices and being.
We must create a vision that sees beauty in everything.
Blue, orange, yellow or a dark sky is beautiful anyway. We do not wish to lighten or darken its colors, we simply appreciate its beauty and variations.
That’s the beauty of individualism when you accept it for others and yourself you will see nothing but beauty all around.

For once, sit, breathe and look into yourself.
You will find the beauty, the peace and the happiness you were looking for all this while.
Trust me on this, whatever you are looking for is surely within you.

May you fly high,
To touch the heights you never imagined;
May you dive deep,
In the depths unimagined.
May you find the deepest depths of your soul and its serenity;
Hope one day you realize,
There’s nothing more beautiful than your individuality!
