What do you do when it's just not enough being yourself?

What do you do when it's just not enough being yourself? ... You'll steal the ME you want to be!

I came across this phrase in one of the movie that I've watched for so many times. But still, I don't really get what the answer actually means. It's from an evil character who wanna take over a kingdom by poisoning the queen of the said kingdom.

Seriously, looking at the question, what will we really do if we ever felt like not enough being what we are now? not satisfied with what we have? not happy with our lives? Doesn't feel like we belong - to the family we lived in / the community we interact with / the office we worked in? Is it all because of low self-esteem?

Man can never satisfied with what they have... that's material wise. Well, how about self actualization? Would the sin of greed comes to play in personality too? Let's just says that you're now err.. Jessica Alba for example... sexy and all... but, you wanna be Mother Teresa too at the same time... for some reason, you wanna be holy like her. Hmm... sense of in confidence? Afraid of being left out? Yes, all of us need attention. All of us enjoyed to be noticed and loved by all.

But, are we willing enough to sacrifice it all for the sake of being what we thought we should be? Having learned that, the best thing we can be is being our trueself. And having said that, how do we know our trueself really like? Can we google it from our heart?

... to be continue.
