You do not have to be a superstar

Just try to be a better person

All of us are born with certain abilities

Usually quite a few liabilities too

Nature does not expect all of us to win gold medals
.
Or to be superstars
.
It does want us to try our best though
.
That's all
.
And yet many feel a failure if they cannot earn lots of money and become famous
.
Or marry the rich man, kidding ourselves that if he has plenty of money then this will make up for any other short comings
.
Highly improbable
.
However many choose to go this way
.
Often influenced by a culture which increasingly values money above all else
.
One of the most insidious assaults on our minds though are the TV programs worshipping materialism
.
Many programs are designed to appeal to the greatest possible number of viewers
.
This by definition means childish ideas simply expressed
.
Simple story lines
.
Simple premises
.
A common one in many guises is
.
Handsome hero makes money gets beautiful girl, jumps into bed, lives happily ever after
.
And many other variations on the theme of how great having money is and how women cannot resist men with money
.
So why then do we keep denying the evidence of our own eyes?
.
The handsome hero seldom exists in real life and jumping into bed for sure does not lead to happiness ever after
.
In fact those early days of exciting sex quickly lead to the realities of modern life
.
A life of struggle and usually lots of stress
.
A life of compromise
.
How many happy relationships do you know?

How many happy people do you know?

Your life does not have to be mega anything for you to find peace of mind

Let go silly story lines

Focus on your own world

Focus on your own life and how you can make it more fulfilling

Never mind what others do

Find your own way and leave the TV soaps to those who want fantasy

Being a superstar is not easy and not really very desirable
