Celebrity: Fame : Stardom

I used to think that famous people were so cool when I was a teenager. My dream was to become a famous musician or entertainer and I thought stardom was the best way to live. My perception of it changed as I got older. We are all human, including celebrities. Many of them struggle with mental health issues and have experienced trauma. Yet they’re placed on a pedestal by their fans. They’re pressured to keep an image that doesn’t always represent who they truly are. Their entire lives are exposed to the world to see and judge. They have no privacy. I don’t know about you but that doesn’t seem like a lifestyle that can make anyone genuinely happy. I read Marilyn Monroe's story( Marilyn Monroe - Biography - IMDb ) . She seemed to have it all. She was famous, proposing, and rich. But she suffered through so much abuse her entire life, never knew her father, and had a mentally ill mother. Did drugs to escape reality until she died of a broken heart. My point is that money is essential ...

Live Your Truth By Becoming A Better Humanbeing

1-Be who you want to see in others. Be authentic and honest about who you are. 2-Treat everyone with kindness and respect. Don't belittle or place anyone on a pedestal. We are all humans! 3- Recognize your flaws and shortcomings. Be self-aware and challenge yourself to grow. 4-Recognize your strengths and talents. Every human being has value and can contribute to something. 5- Learn from your mistakes. Forgive yourself. Don’t become a victim of your circumstances. Get up and glow, it's the best form of "revenge" and self-care. 6- Accept constructive criticism, even when it's unsolicited. You don't have to agree, but listening with an open mind can help you approach yourself and your life in new ways. 7 - Apologize when you’re wrong. Don't make excuses to justify your hurtful actions. Be humble, not prideful. 8- Educate yourself every day and let others educate you too. We all can learn from each other. Nobody knows and is right about everything. 9- Don’t j...

Stop Letting People Use You

How to tell if someone is using you: 1- Recognize their pattern. A person who comes to you from time to time to ask for a favor isn’t necessarily a user. They could just see you as someone reliable or trustworthy. A user on the other hand follows a specific pattern. They never check up on you and are only ever nice to you when they need something. It’s a one-sided relationship. 2- Express yourself. Let them know how they make you feel. Tell them you don’t appreciate their presence only when they need something. They could also not realize they’re making you feel that way if that’s not their intention. 3- Boundaries. Set clear boundaries with them. Learn to say no. If you can’t say no, politely let them know that you have other things going on or you’ll think about it. 4- Test them. Reverse the roles and ask them for huge favors. And see how they’ll respond to your needs. 5- They are only nice to you and only contact you when they need something or want to ask for a favor. They take mor...

Miss Victoria

Victoria was a woman who struggled with depression for years. She had so many wounds she didn’t know how to heal. Every time she became depressed, she would turn into an angry person and shut the whole world off. Her depression affected her relationship with everyone. She wanted people to love her and to be in her life, but her pain was stronger than hers. It led her to hurt many people. Victoria's biggest problem was her limiting beliefs. In her mind, she believed that there was no way out of her pain and head. She created an identity around her trauma. Until the day she realized that she was holding herself back. She realized that there actually was a possibility to find a way out of her head. She wanted to be happy again. So she went to therapy and it changed her life. There are many Victoria in the world today. Struggling with all types of problems, especially mental ones. Being stuck in one’s head doesn’t mean there’s no way out. There is a way, you must find it! Friend, if yo...

Crush Their EGO

You know what feeds people's egos and gives them a sense of power? When they hurt you and then see you broken, miserable and turn bitter. Some people will only feel the hurt they caused you and regret their actions when they see you doing good without them and when you no longer care about them. So instead of focusing on the pain they caused you, and wishing that karma may get them back, focus on yourself and on your healing. Try your best to not let yourself be defeated by your wounds. If you want to crush their ego, become the best version of yourself. Be successful, ignore them, replace them and pretend they don’t exist. It’s going to hit them really hard and make them realize that they’re not as important and as powerful as they thought they were. Trust me on this one, people who have hurt you are keeping tabs on you. Not necessarily because they care, but because curiosity is a part of human nature. They’d want to see and know how you’ve turned out and if you keep showing the ...

Packaging Gives You An Identity

  Dear Friends, I want you to know that you are a unique divine product on display to your world. However, a good product cannot gain acceptance without good packaging. A product can be very good, but if it is not well packaged, it may not be accepted by those who even need it. In the world of marketing, packaging makes a lot of difference. Packaging gives you an identity. Your packaging determines who you attract. Your packaging affects your destiny. You can't attract kings looking like a peasant. The clothes you wear and the way you carry yourself and your accessories speaks volumes. Many good people have been mistaken for bad people simply because of their appearance. Nobody can call you a harlot if you don't dress or look like one. Nobody can call you a hooligan if you don't dress or act like one. Every profession has its dress code and ethics. A motor mechanic cannot be mistaken for a medical doctor, but when doctors begin to look like mechanics, something is not right...
