someone who is in need of attention
who seeks attention from others?
someone who has a deep inferiority complex
someone who is not sure of himself
and wants to prove to himself that he is also good enough like others
most of the time, a person suffering from inferiority complex
does not want to prove that he is a normal person like others
but he wants to prove that he is higher and superior than others
thats the life of an celebrity and that is meaning of inferiority complex too
a celebrity lives on the energy and attention of their fans
they are mostly on high and the stardom is too much intoxicating
celebrities has to work very hard because the immense amount of energy
which they receive from their fans give them a feeling of high and power
it is like you are on the top of the world
and they want to stay on the top of the world
and for that they have to deliver hit performance again and again
so they naturally have to work harder and smarter than anybody else
at the same time, it is very difficult
for them to cope up with the fame when they are rising
because just one day before you were nobody and nobody was interested in you
and now the whole world is crazy after you… you are their hero
and once you get used to the fans attention
then it is even more difficult to live life without their attention
the attention and adulation of fans becomes an addiction for them
so they are restless for more and more success while they are climbing the ladder
and they are sad and hurt when the fans are pulling them down from the startdom
stardom is like having a hot samosa in your mouth
you can’t swallow it neither you want to throw it
but the hot samosa definitely gives you a feeling of thrill
so every star wants to stay in limelight
stars mostly live a difficult life
and this sudden rise to stardom is certainly not a blessing
as first you have to cope up with this sudden rise to stardom
and accept yourself as a special person
and when you get used to it
one day you will have to come down from the stardom
and then you have to readjust your life without the fans
its like starting your life all over again,
mind it, it is not easy and many stars cannot handle the transition
its easy for fans to move on as they start admiring another star on the sky
but for a falling star its crash of his life
no wonder in many cases, the end days of stars life are very sad and trautmatic
when they are on the height of their career, stars live a insecure life
because they know people love them for their performances
and people don’t love them as a person
they love the character and not the person behind the character
so they also have to maintain a particular image of star character
and have to deliver hit performance again and again to maintain that image
at the same time, immense amount of public attention does not allow them to rest
because each thought and emotion of their fan is hitting them
and they are recieving enormous amount of energy
and they don’t know what to do with this energy as they are not meditators
no wonder, they are always on move…
they can not rest… forget about relaxation
most of them have sleeping problems and they become burnt out due to lack of rest
have you ever seen the photo of a celebrity before he became a hit
the celebrity looks so ordinary… no charm or grace in them
so how come suddenly the celebrity has
so much glow and charisma after a hit movie
it is because of two reasons
- one is public attention
whenever you think about a person, you give energy to him
and these celebrities receive a lot of energy from their fans
this energy could be in the form of love, hate, anger or sexual
it depends what type of emotions their fans are sending to the celebrity
if they are receiving messed up energy from their fans
than most probably that celebrity is inviting mess in his life - self-consciousness is the another reason for their charisma
in a way, enlightened man and celebrity are both conscious of their actions
but there is a big difference in the reason why they are conscious of their movements
enlightened person like buddha, osho, swami rajneesh or j krishnamurti
are always conscious of their movements and actions
because they are consciously evolved people
whenever you are conscious, you don’t leak any energy
and thats why enlightened people are overflowing with energy
enlightened people live consciously and die consciouslywhereas these celebrities are also watchful of their movements
but this watchfulness is not natural to them as they are not consciously evolved
instead they are watchful of their movements
because each of their action is being watched by millions of people
so they have to be watchful of what they do and what they say
one wrong step or a wrong word will be noticed by millions of people
so they are very careful what to say, how to say and when to say
if you are also watchful of each and every moment of your life
then you will also have a glow on your faceif you don’t believe in this
then look at a pregnant women how her face glows
one of the reason why pregnant women looks graceful
is because she is watchful of her movement
because she is carrying a life inside her and she has to be careful while moving
once people stop following a celebrity then he loses all his charisma
because now no fan is thinking about him with passion,
so he stops receiving their energy,
since no one is bothered about them,
no one is following them and people are not interested in what they are doing
so celebrities stop being watchful about their movements
so another big source of energy is gone
which comes by being conscious of your movement
thats why many celebrities want to stay in limelight
they attend award functions, book launches or any excuse
so that they stay in public memory
out of sight out of mind
stars enjoy the attention of fans because it nourishes them
thats why celebrities look very depleted and ordinary
when their fans stop following them
because 99% of their charisma comes from the energy of the fans
given to them in the form of mass hysteria
its the people energy which makes or breaks a star
when they are in limelight it is a very vibrant, high, restless and intoxicating time
and when they are forgotten then it is a shock for them… kind of betrayal
and they have big difficulty in coping with the lonely life
as they don’t know how to cope up with this sudden anonymity
and how to accept themselves as an ordinary person
like anybody else walking on the street
as they were used to the life where they are treated like gods
its a difficult life for a star and no one can understand
how much thrill and pain a star goes through in his life
my suggestion to stars is this:
at the end of your career, start getting involve in social causes
because you have a certain power over general public
they look up to you, they love you and they have nourish your life
so as a thanksgiving to the society which has given you so much
return something, participate in the good social causes
this way you will stay in limelight and keep on getting people attention
and that public attention you are diverting for social good
another option for stars is to go for meditation
as you have seen the life of power and glamour
only thing which you have not experienced is rest, silence, bliss and aloneness
try meditation and it will open a new world of possibilities
which comes by going within
on the flip side, stars can easily get enlightened
but they are the one who will avoid meditation the most
because for meditation one has to become nobody
and a star is someone who is portrayed
as very special, extraordinary… out of this world person
but thats not the reality
