Celebrating celebrities...


‘Elvis has left the building!’
-Unknown

Do you have a picture of yourself with a celebrity? If so, where is that picture? Is it on a high place in your house for everyone to notice? Is it close to your bed?

Who’s your favorite celebrity? What’s his (or her) real name? What movies or songs can you name where your favorite celebrity was involved?

Can you see yourself running inside a mall (or at least rushing) just so that you can get a glimpse of that one celebrity you heard was buying there? Have you done it?

Why?

What is a celebrity but a person who is just recognized and followed by a bunch of people almost blindly?

What is a celebrity but someone who, by their own effort, fate, luck, or backstabbing of others has reached the floors where the spotlight of the world awaits for their entrance to the stage?

You never know when you’ll meet one of them, and when you do it is all a big event…

So, a piece of advice I give to you. Buy yourself a really good camera. The best you can, and get ready to photograph the greatest celebrity of all, yourself.

You have lived through a lot, enough for many movies and even sequels. Enough for books to be written, yet you have dedicated yourself to praise and recognize other people’s success. Just as true celebrities, perhaps you don’t see yourself as such. They run away from paparazzi, while you hide away from your own recognition.

In reality these so called ‘celebrities’ would run towards you to get pictures taken with you if they knew what you know about yourself. They would perhaps see more in you than you do, for that is exactly what we do with them.

Lesson learned: Smile, you are the best of actors in the best of films, My Life…all Oscars are yours!

Not the best message for egomaniacs, but good therapy for the rest of us :)
