You’re never going to get anywhere trying to the next anything. I highly doubt the Beatles became the most well-known rock band of all time in an attempt to be like anyone before them. Do you believe Lebon James is on a conquest to become the next Michael Jordan? With that mindset he would never reach his goal. If he spent every waking hour in an attempt to match the great Michael Jordan, I believe he would be wasting his time. Even if he is successful in this conquest in matching Michael Jordan he would merely become the second person to reach that particular goal and be forgotten with ease. James would never have gotten to the point he is at now with that mindset. Can you imagine spending every moment of your life comparing yourself to someone who’s already successful? With that way of thinking failure will find you before you can master anything. What do the Beatles and other successors of their field have in common? They mastered themselves to become individual and set themselves aside from the norm completely and inadvertently changing the world doing so. Don’t ever spend any amount of time trying to become someone else. You will fail. Upon reflection you’re just a lucky sperm cell that happened to make the half of a foot long trip from your dad’s balls to your mom’s ovaries. Do you feel discouraged? Well don’t. You’re also the fastest swimmer out of millions of other sperm cells and multiplied yourself billions of times over since then. Go out in the world and make a difference. Don’t chase for something someone else already has but exceed what they have showed you is possible. Learn from others’ failures and successes but never try to become them.
