WANNA BE FAMOUS?

.

Famous is defined as being highly celebrated, well known by many and acknowledged for some high level of accomplishment. The idea of attaining fame is a dream and even longing for many but in reality, in many cases, the very longing for such a thing , is really and truly a dire need to be loved and to be acknowledged. Most people spend their lives feeling and living in an existence where their true gifts are not used or appreciated.

This creates such a painful life experience that robs them dally of their aspirations as it weaves a web of distress and fear of not being able to enjoy a life of freedom in expression of honor and of success. Many define fame as true success , though fame does not always come along with new income, better opportunities and/or good people.

Fame, if this path is chosen often calls the one seeking the fame to lose themselves in exchange for actually becoming slave to the one making he or she famous. Their total being becomes wrapped into a mentally draining dialogue:" Now, i have to stay famous, do things that keep me in the headlines, in the media, wanted , talked about. This is a very slow, cruel , self sabotaging life existence that leads men and women to continue seeking acknowledgement from a hurting place that runs the risk of eating away at their true value.

So, is fame what we really want? Or is it that we want to be more than a mere existence on the planet? Is it enough for your gift to reach no more than the flowers that flirt kindly in the sun's rays just beyond your door step or in some way are you validated by the deep gaze and pull of the thousands watching? Though they say not a word we are convinced that they see us, who we are, what are struggles are and somehow the soundless gaze of all of those thousands, even millions tells us that we are worth being here, worth loving, worth occupying our time. Everywhere we go, somebody's watching, longing for our soundless gaze, our head nod, our cheer section wand. They believe in us, in our influence, in our coolness, in our belonging. They believe that we are something they want to be and they post our pictures on their walls, their hearts, and just beneath the layers of what little self esteem that they have left. There we are looking famous. Looking wanted. We are now, just that , an object of desire. Finally.

What's next? Well, you are now the mish mash of all those thousands or millions who lie eagerly in adoration for your face to grace the next cover of icon magazine. Your every decision from relationships to how you wear your hair to your stance on political views, your album title, etc  now all welcome commentary from what is a crudely fickle audience. You see, fame brings anything but real love or adoration, yet instead it brings with it thousands and millions of critiques from every direction, endless hours of service in the manipulation camp of perfection, undeniably intense schedules that leave an individual in such as state of exhaustion that drugs or alcohol become astonishingly purposeful companions, that leave our now famed one in a state of soullessness without apology.But,they are famous!

This isn't all famous individuals clearly but it is seemingly the destiny of those of us who seek it , thirst for it, even seemingly beg for it, exchanging our intimacies, our boundaries, our true achievements and natural gifts for 15 minutes with the I AM SOMEBODY BECAUSE THE MEDIA SAYS I AM clique. Now, on the other hand we are all born with an impenetrable, magnificent set of gifts, though not everyone knows what theirs are just yet. We ALL have them. When an individual aspires to use their gifts to bless, encourage, inspire and influence any number of people for the betterment of that people, this is beyond the self and so therefore does not come with it all those things that decrease it in value. When your gift celebrates who you are and others, it can bring you before the thousands and millions continually but it will also give back to you and not take away. 

. Being acknowledged starts with knowing yourself. Know your gifts, your strengths,weakness, triggers, desires, dreams.

Be yourself . That’s worth celebrating
