~:[CH13 - Day 210]:~ The Aura

Kim Soo Hyun seemed to attract the largest crowd. When I looked behind me, a mob of people began to form and I was surprised. I probably shouldn't have been, considering his popularity, but with another popular group performing simultaneously, I wasn't sure who would draw the larger crowd. One thing I noticed is that he has an aura that people seemed to be drawn to. Confident, yet sincere; driven, yet appreciative. He said he loves to travel, but hasn't had the time to do so as of late, as the demands for his services has increased greatly. Many of these idols have a similar aura, as do many people you meet in your life. Of course, sometimes we are fooled by people who carry this aura, but at times, our intuition is correct. It's interesting to see the various personalities of the idols. Some seem more timid and not as comfortable on stage, others seem to enjoy the spotlight, while others are in between. As I walked away, I was a bit sad that I wouldn't be able to capture any of these incredible moments, yet simultaneous happy since I could rest a bit. On my way home, I kept thinking about how we can improve our aura. It's something that can't be force and most likely can't be taught. It's a process, which starts with building the various skills and qualities that will give you that confidence and that drive, without sacrificing who you are and the appreciation you have for the journey it took to get you there. I think that balance is difficult, which is why it's rare to see this same aura given off, even by celebrities. Regardless, we can work towards improving ourselves, not for the purpose of appearing better in the eyes of others, rather, to work on building the confidence we have in ourselves. As when we focus on what we need to work on, rather than trying to fix how we appear in front of others, we often can find a way to better adjust ourselves and lead us to a place where others may be drawn to us as well, no matter the field you are. Many of us don't seek that spotlight and are fine following along, maintain the peace and tranquility in our lives, still yet, there's no fault in working on yourself, While you may not build up an aura similar to Kim Soo Hyun, you'll find a way to gain the trust and respect of those around you, just by being and improved version of you. Let's challenge ourselves to find that balance and work on the things we need to in order to improve. While we may never have millions of fans cheering you on the world, you can still find a way to be the best version of yourself for the one person that you want to truly impress - yourself. I don't know the secret to getting that aura, but I am sure that it starts with being comfortable and happy with who you are.
