Inside of you is the greatest person ever put forth on the earth, what you have to do is find your own fame. Your personal fame, I am not talking about the fame that would have to walking around with your head in the air, but the kind of fame that will allow you the ability to change the world around you. Many people have stories, they have things that they have been through, that if told to the world, would not only change their lives but could change the lives of others.
Your fame is not defined by the number of people that know your name, but your fame is defined by the number of people that have been impacted by what you have to say. Now, many people will not like what you have to say, but if it is relevant, you will not have to worry, because negative press is still press. Your voice matters, your opinion matters, even if it only matters to you. We, in this nation have been so trapped by being famous that we have lost the true essence of fame. Fame is not the cars you have or the house you own, but fame is the ideal for which you stand for. Fame is your ability to become the true you, the you that you have locked away because all you can do is watch others be famous.
As I grew up, I was told that many famous people were snobs, well, in truth many of the people who have had this view were the ones that were snobs. What defines you should not be the amount of people that know your name, but what defines you should be that your name stands for something. When you die what will they say about you, for many, this is not something they care about, but for others this is something that should always be answered. We who have baptized ourselves into the world known as Social Media are on the brink of change the world as we know it. The power is in our hands, and if we don't take hold of it, then this moment will pass us by, we will become lost to the ideals by which the new frontier has given of itself.
