Daily Quote # 61
‘Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.’
― Oscar Wilde
This quote puts a smile on my face EVERY time I read it! It is really funny! But, all laughter aside – how true are those words for you?
I know we all have idols, role models, mentors and such the like. However, I think that sometimes, we are tempted, even just a tiny bit to overcompensate for who we want to become and not bask in the beauty of who we are.
Don’t get me wrong, now. I admire all the mentors and the role models that have paved the way before us, but I still think that we should use what we learn from them sparingly and not mask our true selves.
After all, we ALL get ONE life to live, unless you a cat who can read this quote!
That’s me, being my humorous self!
Namaste

Oscar Wilde not only does the talk (here), he certainly did the walk too. He was quite the individual – as opposed to the hurds of 13-in-a-dozen people trying to fit in.
LOL
