["I'm a writer. An amateur photographer. An actor.
I'm human, just like anybody else" - Ben Affleck]
I watched so much celebrities interviews recently on a famous talk show. What I have learned from what I have watched is that celebrities are just a human, someone who are also as vulnerable and as imperfect as we are. [Yes!] They are very much a human like you and I, who is also come from the same Creator! There is only one difference between them and us is that their career or job require them to be on TV, magazine or newspaper quite often and eventually making them a famous person.
[With Elvis Presley wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong]
Just because they are somebody famous, always on headlines, but does it mean that they are someone who is 'mistakes proof'? [Nope!] Sadly, people set a very, very high expectation on them; expecting them to be perfect, say the right thing, do the right thing and make the right choice. If you say that they are someone on the TV, therefore they have to [always] set a good example for everyone who are watching them, then, how about us? Well, we are not famous like them because our career or job do not require us to be on headlines or on TV but some of us are working in a very professional job [like doctor, engineer, pilot, bus driver, teacher, tutor, a church pastor, manager, businessman, etc] does it mean that we don't need to set a good example?
[Leave the celebrities alone, they are human too! We can make mistakes and so are they, therefore, we have no right to judge anybody! Everyone, including myself, should take responsibility to set a good example and making a difference in someone's life!]
To begin, it has to start from us! ["Be the change that you wish to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi] Secondly, don't lose heart, keep showing your compassionate by bringing love to the people around you. ["People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care" - John C. Maxwell] Sometimes, life can be bad, unwanted circumstances can happen to anybody, therefore, with a compassionate heart, we can be the instrument or an agent for God to bring joy and comfort to the needy!
Don't underestimate yourself, what you are just a play a small role but who you are is more important; your character and your attitude is crucial when it comes to setting a good example and making a difference in someone's life and to the world! Yes, no doubt we are very much a human, often times a vulnerable and an imperfect one but if we begin with our willing heart by allowing God to make us as His vessel, don't be surprised, He can use us to do mighty great things for Him!
[Always begin with willingness and top up with LOVE!
"So no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
- 1 Corinthians 13:3b (MSG)"]
God bless! Cheerio :)
