I Want To Be Somebody
After over a year with my Therapist Bob, he felt I had the tools I needed to live a happy life (and he was right). He suggested I should I go to a group called Life Spring not to get fixed, but to watch other people struggling with unhappiness in their life.
At Life Spring, I met a movie Producer. I asked him why he was here. He said he always wanted to be somebody and believed if he made a lot of money, he would be the happiest man in the world. Well, he became rich, and he still wasn't happy.
He then told me that he thought if he became famous, he would be happy. Well, he became a well-known Producer with lots of power, but still not happy. I suggested he go see Bob.
My sister was never happy. She was always angry at my father because he wasn't a rich businessman and she wasn't famous. All she read were books about famous people. I believe that led her to drinking and even more unhappiness.
Sooo, I thought about being Somebody. What I realized was my Dad was somebody. He was a great father and husband. He owned a very small store that didn't make a lot of money but was loved by the neighborhood. He worked hard to put food on our table and shelter over our heads and I loved him for it. He Was Somebody.
One of the tools Bob gave me was to love myself. I believe I am Somebody even though I'm not famous. What about YOU? Have you spent any time patting yourself on the back because of the things you've accomplished? Can you look at your life and believe You Are Somebody?
You don't need to say: "I Want To Be Somebody because;
YOU ARE SOMEBODY!!
