Be true to who you are, and do not try to be another person. Learn from others and live your own unique life. You will only succeed in what God has destined you for—being you. I have said this repeatedly, and it has become almost like a song now: never go about trying to copy what other people are doing, because you think it is the best thing. Follow your own life’s purpose and be faithful to it. Seek God’s guidance and direction. True fulfilment comes from living your own purpose, not by copying other people’s.

Consider: ordinarily, if a vehicle, for example, a car, is not built to fly and you insist it should, a crash becomes inevitable. There is a path for you to follow to your success and fulfilment in life. If you decide to follow another, you will end up in failure and frustration.
