You are my role-model.

I admire who you are, what you do, how you do it.

I want to learn from you.

I’m really, really fascinated by your way.

I so want to be like you.

So I try doing everything like you do.

There comes a challenge.

What would you do?

I do it.

 

Why doesn’t it work!?

I did it like you …

 

It doesn’t even feel right.

I find myself lost.

Really confused.

 

Then slowly but surely, I start to get it.

It’s quite straight-forward.

I’m simply not you.

 

So there I am, puzzled - what should I do?

 

And then I hear a gentle whisper within:

“Time to be yourself, love. Be You”

 

I sit in surprise with what I feel.

 

What a relief this seems to be!

That all I need to do is -

just BE ME.
