Don't be someone you aren't, because then you wouldn't exist. If you get stripped of who you are, what you are made of, the essence of your being, you become nothing, be cause you are not you any longer.
So, imagine that you are a cat, completely unique, and someone pulls off your fur, then wipes that twinkle out of your eye, or the snarl off your face (please don't snarl), then gets rid of your lean body and long, thin tail. You would be nothing, because you are not you.
Who we are (personality, strength, favorites, etc.) is the one thing that makes us, well, us. Without that, we would not be in existence anymore, because we wouldn't be us. We would be modeled after a completely different person.
Back to the cat picture. So that mean person takes the nothingness that is you, and gives you the features, IQ, attitude, and personality of a completely different cat. Long, fluffy fur, fat and slow, sticky sweet expressions. Now, are you really you anymore? No! You are a completely different cat. And the old you? Gone, extinct, ZAP! No more twinkling eyes, lean, agile body, rough and tumble personality.
So, what we have learned is that you should never be someone else because you would not exist anymore.
Remember, your life is your own, and no one should be crushing your dreams (or awesome shower voice), so speak up! I will be happy to help.
Great advice! Never try to be someone else because God made you who you are suppose to be, and He don't make no mistakes! :-)
