"Always be a first-rate version of yourself and not a second-rate version of someone else." ~Judy Garland
Trying to be something or someone you are not, is inevitably a failure. We are all created for a reason, if you try to be someone else, the person you are is missing just like a piece of a big puzzle. Now you have a piece that doesn't fit anywhere as if it came from another box. Find yourself, be true to who you are and you will be happier for it.

(Join to see) - The quote is nearly 2000 years old, yet it is just as pertinent today as it was then.
