These Boots Were Made For Walkin'

To walk in someone else's shoes. But what if those shoes didn't fit or hurt your feet?  Would you endure the pain just to see what it was like?  Our jealousy, admiration, and curiosity of others and how they live sometimes prompts us to imagine what it would be like to be rich,  famous, wildly successful, or extraordinarily beautiful. And given a chance, would you trace their footpaths just to see what it would be like? Of course, this is only imagination, and something out of movies -- swapping bodies and lives. Instead of focusing on others and what they have, why not invest in your own talents, skills, assets, and desires, and take a long walk in your own shoes.
