On being 'made' for something

Whenever someone says that Eli wasn't "made" to be a k-pop idol I'm just like okay, so he wasn't made for this. You know that and I know that. He has a lot of improving to do and he has done a lot of improving over the years. However, don't confuse this for lack of dedication. 

People end up places they least expected to be all the time, especially when they weren't "made for" or "groomed to be" in those places and positions. I wasn't made to be a teacher. I got into a grant program that is training me to be a *TESOL teacher and is paying for my schooling and giving me a stipend to live off of. Prior to this I had no passion for teaching, at all. I have no natural talent for it and I only got into this program because of good grades and my minor in linguistics. 

It took a lot of time and effort on my part to get used to it. To begin with, this is less about passion for me and more about having a steady paying job. This is how it could be with some of your favorite idols, you never know. That doesn't mean they're less worthy of being an idol. All in all, this does not mean I am not dedicated to the job and unwilling to meet and exceed the requirements for the program. I wouldn't have taken this opportunity if I thought it would get me nowhere.  

As I've said, I have no natural talent for teaching and my last semester was very difficult taking education courses. I know a lot of people had the natural talent but weren't getting the grades they wanted. I was getting the grades but I'm also lacking in creativity and imagination when it comes to teaching. I just know what it is I need to do to get good grades. This can be related to how some idols stand out more than others, even if their musical talent needs improving. No need to get jealous, one's level of fame and/or their 'grades' do not necessarily equate to their talent level. 

I did struggle a lot this semester and I know I'm not the best even if I got the grades I wanted. I know I have a lot of improvements to make to catch up to those really dedicated to teaching. I'm willing to do that. It'll make me happy, my family happy, and my peers happy. In doing tutoring and student teaching the idea of me being a teacher is also really growing on me. It's tough but I also enjoy the experience. I stumble but when I get up I'm even stronger. 

You see, you don't need to be 'made' for a career to have a career. You don't have to be the best to be popular or get all the good grades, and you don't have to be popular or get all the good grades to be the best at something. You don't have to start off having a passion for what you do to end up enjoying what you do. You can start off rocky and stumble a lot along the way due to your own lacking in talents. This doesn't mean the journey isn't worth it.

Also, people enter the same career paths for different reasons. Some have an immense passion for something and are super dedicated to it and enter into a career path like being a K-pop idol and they work very very hard to earn their fame. That's great. Some have little passion or previous desire for something and are placed onto a career path like being a K-pop idol by sheer chance or luck and maybe they're not the most dedicated, or the most talented, or the most passionate and they stumble a lot and they have a lot to learn but they stick to it and they try their best, make visible improvements, make their families proud, and so on. That's great to. 

Just quit worrying about if people were meant to be where they are and worry about you. It can be frustrating to see someone who maybe wasn't 'meant for' something garner more fame or what have you than you or someone else you like (ex. a K-pop idol you admire). However, it's completely silly to take out your frustrations on those people. They're just trying to make what was given to them work, and trust me it isn't easy. You and/or your favorites are still talented and that talent isn't going to go away unless you let jealousy and anger destroy you and/or them.

Furthermore, just stop complaining about Eli being somewhere he's 'not supposed to be.' He's an adult, he can choose where he wants to be. Right now, he's choosing to be with UKISS and trying to make things work. He's made some visible improvements in his abilities but is still working on improving. He knows some people in the group are better than him talent wise but that's okay. He obviously still dedicates a lot of time and energy to UKISS through practice, going on stage when he's not in his best condition, and promoting UKISS whenever he can. If he didn't care at all he wouldn't do any of those things as being a K-pop idol is no easy task and it doesn't earn you nearly as much money as you think.

Just stop worrying your pretty little heads about it and carry on with your own business, okay?
