Who are you? What is your purpose in life? What character do you exhibit? Are you living a life true to your potential? Are you happy?
These are few of the questions which resound in our minds every now and then. It is like a structure programmed in our brains which keeps repeating itself in an infinite loop all through our lives. These are the questions which do not have answers – because once we do – the very meaning and purpose of life would come to a halt.
It is a fact that most of us do not achieve the success that we deserve because we all are curious to know what is happening in others’ lives. We tend to peek into others’ persona and get judgemental about all that we lack compared to our envious counterparts. And this is a vicious cycle. It gets back at us eventually.
It is said that we have seven look-alikes in the world .Irrespective of us comparing ourselves with others, what would you do if you end up meeting one of your look-alikes?
Consider that you have met one of those seven look-alikes of yours.
The questions in anyone’s mind would be who is this look-alike? Is the double a twin of yours that your mother never spoke of? Or is he/she just a random person who is a look alike? You could even possibly think that you are hallucinating or dreaming. Crazy human minds, you see!
You would be in a state of shock with ever increasing heart-rate, surprised, perturbed, taken aback, and with a millions of questions in your mind.
And assume that your doppelganger is a better version of you. He/she is successful, charming, wise, intelligent, and is a person who does not quit. The lookalike may even be living in the same place as you do.
How would you react in that particular situation? Would you be happy for your double? Or, would you feel insecure about your identity? How would anyone comprehend this precarious circumstance?
And if the look alike was exactly what you wanted to be in your life, won’t you be encroached and demotivated?
In reality there is always a doppelganger living right along with us. But this doppelganger has no physical presence, but an apparition, a phantom that we have created in our minds. This phantom that we have created is the perfect representation of what we want to be. This phantom is always wise in taking decisions, has broadened set of horizons, funny, dedicated and compassionate. This lives with us in parallel – but – virtually. We all hope to be that person one day. The version 2.0!
It is up to us to tap into that doppelganger within us and rise above adversity. Just like the saying, “Nothing can dim the light which shines from within”.
