Your life is a symbol of everything the universe has created, perhaps you see yourself as an outsider an element just completes the variables, it is a puzzle why you think your life is just so different compared to what is actually taking place on the cosmic scale. You relaise the sub atomic particles that coalesced to create the universe, is indeed the very same particles that have created you.
You are the universe, do not try to change that. The universe created you in the image of itself, You cannot be two separate entities, all matter and energy are from the same force that gives air to lungs. You are after all a very uniqie creation and the universe is yet unfinished in making you complete, That is something you are going to let yourself be free of all the materilistic and illusions that have clearly manifested it self in the form of culture, society and most of all your ego. Let yourself be different than what someone else is telling you to become. You are not born to become an idol to someone, you cannot look at youself and say why can't I be better like that guy, when infact you have to understand the guy you try to idolise is just rear image of yourself and your ego has decided that you two are separte. Ego can be a very good thing to have only when the time in life is right, but that will decided.
Ask youserlf the question why do I want to better myself in life, The very act of me improving myself i might actually be downgrading myself and getting in the way of myself. nature did not create me to compete, It was not in life that I can decide to get ahead of myself, the very act could turn me into something I do not want it is a paradigm everyone must compete to succeed but there is another way around it, don't try to improve yourself in this world by competing with your mind, but look at it by how can you better yourself in your heart rather than your mind.
It is infact your heart that plays the vital role in you becoming someone better, and when you improve that you will see your life was indeed a vibration that keeps on ringing.
Never Change your Heart Change your Mind
