What would ... think?

8:48 AM

What would ... think?

I look up to so many people.

I stopped and thought, if MLK, Audrey Hepburn, Richard Rodriguez, etc. saw how I act, What would they say to me?

Would they be proud or shameful?

That puts things in perspective. The next time you don't do your best and know that you're not, how will your idol think of you? Would he or she be as proud of you as you are of them? Wouldn't you want them to see you and say 'Good job'?

As far as I'm concerned, no. They wouldn't be. I adore MLK, but sit around and surf the internet. I want to be healthy as Anthony Anderson and Lokelani McMichael, but I eat junk, don't exercise, or do anything. I'm in awe of those who are spiritual, but don't even pray on a regular basis. I adore amazing writers such as Richard Rodriguez, but don't even write or read regularly.

Yes, there are things they would be proud of, but does the good outweigh the bad? maybe, maybe not.

Love,
Leira Violet

Well, it is my opinion that it is unfair and unreasonable to compare yourself to celebrities.
