Not broken

We are extraordinary beings. The world of celebrity, reaching us through the various portals of the media, put us in our place making us feel inadequate, unattractive, stuck where we are and thinking that we can never reach their dizzy heights.

Who really are these super humans? How is it we are told that they have everything and we can only just look on weakly? Well, as if you didn't already know, they are just the same as you and me. They have good and bad days, emotional highs and lows and are here experiencing the same things as we do. There is no real separation between us and them. Everyone of us is unique.

So why look on with such longing. Why read about their glamorous life’s when yours is just as fascinating.

Some well known people have done extraordinary things and I know plenty of 'ordinary' people (I don't think anyone is ordinary) who are doing extraordinary things. In fact I suggest that if you did not have help getting to the top with money or connections then your achievements are greater than those we watch from afar who did start from a better place than yourself.

We are not broken but we might think we are if we keep comparing ourselves to the stars of the media circus. Rejoice in yourself not cower in someone else's shadow.
