What I know to be true about my circle of friends is that we are all individuals in our career goals. We understand that each of us in unique in our talents and we have to stay in our own lanes.
None of my friends want to blog or plan events. I don’t want to be a Celebrity Makeup Artist (I can barely fix my own). I have no desire to be in broadcasting, because I’m shy most of the time. I don’t have the talent be a professional graphic design artist, and I definitely don’t want to test children to decide if they need “special” help in school or not.
Those things are great careers for each of my friends that do their jobs better than I could dream of. But it’s not for me. So why is it that some people have the Me Too Virus and will try anything that you do?
Are some people afraid of their own dreams? Or could it be possible that every idea I pursue is your dream as well? No matter if the fields are unrelated or not, to the previous venture. Is it possible for your brain to go all over the board and land in the same exact places as mine?
The disturbing part for my friend, who has a friend, who knows a girl who.. (You get the picture) is that the girl is suppose to be her friend, yet she wont let her shine in her own field. She tries to mock her look (if you ask me), her profession, and her new product.
So I guess my question is do you piggyback off of every idea your FRIEND has, and become competition (she’d say “she is not my competition) or do you dream for yourself? Are you my friend if you take every idea that I have, and create your own?
Wow! I think he need to stop hatin and create there own dreams. And hell no, A friend want to see you get ahead and will encourage you to do your thing, not do what you do……..
You sound passionate about this! People do need to create their own dreams and friends will help you pursue yours and search for their own at the same time…
Someone once told me, people are fine with your ‘good’ until your good is better than their good. I have finally lived to truly understand. It seems like as long as I was other people’s cheerleader everything was fine. But the minute I start to shine just the least bit, there were no cheerleaders to be found! Human nature is really interesting : )
Wow!!! That was a mouthful. People are fine with my good, until my good is better than theirs. That is so heavy! Also among black ppl we still have the Willie Lynch Syndrome..
