There are billions of people in the world as we know it today. There were many more before us. In as much as we are one, and are all connected, there is only one you. There would never be another exactly like you. There never was, and there never will be. So why should anyone waste their time trying to live someone else’s life? You can never be someone else, therefore, no one else can ever be you.

A certain number of individuals could observe the same thing at same time and space, but they would have different experiences and different opinions. This is an indication of our uniqueness. According to idealism, one’s perception and knowledge is dependent on the inside, rather than what is actually going on in the external world. This means we give meaning to the observable reality.

One mistake must individuals make is attributing their characteristics to someone else. As a child growing up, or as an individual who is just starting up a career, relationship, goals, we are often guilty of this mistake. Not to commit a fallacy, i could say we are all guilty of this. One can never fully understand an individual, only probabilities.

One of our uniqueness as humans, is the fact that we are dynamic in nature. When one go around attributing characteristics to individuals, one is in for a disappointment. This is something many learn later in life, but many never did.

We live in a world where everyone wants to be special, and in our quest to be the best, we lose touch with what is real. The truth is, one can never be the best, no one can. There will always be someone who could do better. You can only be the best of you.

If you are a healer, always remember that not everyone is like you. Some are filled with hatred, greed, envy, jealousy (ego). In as much as you could ignore red flags, you should also remember that not everyone can be saved.

We live in a world for the survival of the fittest, and in our quest for survival, even the purest of hearts could be corrupted. If you do chase your dreams and goals, when you do, do it for you. That way, you can be sure you’re not living someone else’s life, and what is meant for you, would find you. These is the law of universe.
