The Danger of Trying to Be Famous (and What’s So Much Better)

I started writing books when I was in the fourth grade. My first bookโ€”a picture bookโ€”was titled Austin, Texas (clever, I know) about the place where I was born. I had no desire to be famous. I didnโ€™t even know what fame was. I was just an artist with a package of colored pencils, doing what made me feel profoundly alive.

Over time, my creative motivations changed.

The shift was both subtle, and also normal. It is human instinct, in a way, to move from creating and living as a way to express what is in our souls to creating and living in such a way that will get us noticed and recognized make us popular and loved. This of course takes many different shapesโ€”from trying to get more followers on Instagram to jockeying for a promotion at work to just trying to get invited to a weekend party.

be-famous

But no matter what shape it takes, chasing fame is this constant teetering between acting and living in such a way that makes us us, and acting in and living such a way that makes us liked and approved of.

So completely human. So expected. And so normal.

Which makes it easy to overlook.

Fame and unhappiness.

The most obvious problem with overlooking our tendency to fight for approval at the expense of ourselves is that this is the road to unhappiness.

Our hunger to be noticed, to been seen, to be appreciatedโ€”all these are intensely human, innate, built-in desires. But when weโ€™d rather be noticed than to be ourselves, we have a problem. (TWEET THAT)

Arthur C Brooks writes in the New York Times about what research says about those who seek recognition and fame:

In 2009, researchers from the University of Rochester conducted a study tracking the success of 147 recent graduates in reaching their stated goals after graduation. Some had โ€œintrinsicโ€ goals, such as deep, enduring relationships. Others had โ€œextrinsicโ€ goals, such as achieving reputation or fame. The scholars found that intrinsic goals were associated with happier lives. But the people who pursued extrinsic goals experienced more negative emotions, such as shame and fear. They even suffered more physical maladies.

This is one of the cruelest ironies in life. I work in Washington, right in the middle of intensely public political battles. Bar none, the unhappiest people I have ever met are those most dedicated to their own self-aggrandizement โ€” the pundits, the TV loudmouths, the media know-it-alls. They build themselves up and promote their images, but feel awful most of the time.

Thatโ€™s the paradox of fame. Just like drugs and alcohol, once you become addicted, you canโ€™t live without it. But you canโ€™t live with it, either. Celebrities have described fame like being โ€œan animal in a cage; a toy in a shop window; a Barbie doll; a public facade; a clay figure; or, that guy on TV,โ€ according to research by the psychologist Donna Rockwell. Yet they canโ€™t give it up. โ€”Arthur C Brooks

The reminder for us all is twofold. First it is intrinsic motivationsโ€”for art, creativity, life, friendships, etcโ€”that keep us satisfied and happy over the long haul. And second, fame (attention, approval, etc) is like a drug. No matter how much of it you think you need, it will never be enough.

Like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, we will never ever get to where we think we are trying to go.

The pervasiveness of fame

There are really two major reasons it is so difficult to avoid this feeling that we are somehow lacking something unless we have more followers, more fans, more likes, more awards, more money than the person sitting next to us. One is that, in the culture we live in, fame seems so close to our fingertips.

Weโ€™re just one YouTube video away (so it seems) from being โ€œdiscoveredโ€, from our Big Break.

This is the lie our culture has sold us, even though it has some truth to it (donโ€™t all the best lies have some truth to them?)

We have bought it, hook, line and sinker.

And second, the rise of social mediaโ€”along with all itโ€™s benefitsโ€”has this way of luring us, in our humanness and our desire to be noticed and recognized and appreciated, into a space where we must perform not only for those who are in our immediate social circles, but also for the thousands of people who may or may not ever encounter us in real life.

This is the currency of our world. We want to be famous.

And yet it is a lot of weight for our fragile souls to bear.

Who Is Affected?

Part of the reason itโ€™s even so important to talk about the pervasiveness of this mentality is that, even if you donโ€™t think it affects you, it probably affects you. Even if you think to yourself how you couldnโ€™t give a flying you-know-what about social media or followers or likes or fans; in a world that is more profoundly connected than ever before, we are even more prone to posturing and comparing and competingโ€”and all kinds of other things that will, eventually, steal our happiness.

Which of the following do think will make you happier?

  • A promotion?
  • A bigger paycheck?
  • A date with someone you like?
  • A business opportunity?
  • An award or accolade?
  • Acceptance from friends or parents?

Hereโ€™s a question I would like us all to stop and ask ourselves: what will getting those affirmations or affections actually get us?

Am I looking for something outside of me that I can give to myself?

The cost of chasing fame.

What are we trading for this pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that doesn’t seem to actually exist?

Here are a few things that come to mind:

  1. Creativityโ€”chasing fame prevents us from focusing on what will really heal our hearts, like creative projects that restore our souls and help us find our way home.
  2. Loveโ€”the concept of being โ€œfamousโ€ narrows our focus to ourselves and prevents us from really seeing how we are connected to other people in the world. When we are stuck in grief and fear and hopelessness, the way forward is LOVE. Pursuing the empty promise of fame prevents us from being able to see the real value of this.
  3. Connectionโ€”itโ€™s not that someone who has experienced fame canโ€™t be authentically connected to others. I know many โ€œfamousโ€ people who are very authentically connected. It’s just that the race for fame (competition, perfection, posturing) can be in direct contradiction to the rules of connection (safety, vulnerability, honesty).
  4. Satisfactionโ€”since fame is on a continuum, how do we measure it? How famous do I have to be to be โ€œfamousโ€? How many followers and โ€œlikesโ€ do I have to have before I consider it enough? Is 250k enough? Or do I need a million? 7 million? What if, instead of defining โ€œsuccessโ€ or โ€œfameโ€ we defined โ€œenoughโ€ and let the rest take care of itself?
  5. Ourselvesโ€”at our core, we are all imperfect, multi-dimensional, constantly changing, total paradoxical beings. One day we want to be vegan, and the next day we want to eat bacon. Today I want to read a book, and tonight I want to watch a movie. I have meltdown and breakdowns like anyone. We are imperfect and fallible and beautiful and always learning and growing. Fame doesnโ€™t allow for this. Fame asks us to be two-dimensional, predictable, โ€œperfectโ€ or nearly-perfect versions of ourselves, which might be fun to watch but is not real life.
  6. Balanceโ€”fame tempts us to believe that the world revolves around us, and the minute we begin to believe this, the slightest change in our environment can make us feel like the world is crashing in on us; and like itโ€™s our job to fix it. It shouldnโ€™t be surprising that weโ€™ve seen so many celebrities lose their balance in life.

This is not to say that fame is bad. If fame or success or money or left-handedness comes to you, great. But trying to make yourself something youโ€™re not in order to manifest some kind external circumstance-whether that’s fame or something differentโ€” is a recipe for disaster.

โ€œFame is a spiritual drug. It is often a by-product of our artistic work, but like nuclear waste, it can be a very dangerous by-product. Fame, the desire to attain it, the desire to hold onto it, can produce a โ€œhow am I doing?โ€ syndrome. This question is not, โ€œis the work going well?โ€ Itโ€™s โ€œhow does it look to them?โ€ โ€”Julia Cameron

My point is fame is dangerous. And without some careful attention, our built-in appetite for it can lead us down a road of destruction.

The cure for a fame-soaked soul

There are a few suggestions I have for those of us who find ourselves swept up in the Fame Drug, which is all of us in one way or another. If youโ€™re reading this, chances are pretty high you have been feeling the pressure of the fame drug, the allure of it.

Itโ€™s been drawing you in, despite your resistance.

And for you (me too), the first and most important imperative I would give you is to find a creative project that you can do ONLY for the sake of the project. By that I mean you are not engaging in this creative project for the sake of getting attention or recognition someday for how amazing you are at the art.

Youโ€™re literally just doing the art for the sake of the art.

It might actually help you to find a creative outlet you’ve always been drawn to, even if you think youโ€™re not good at it. Like playing the guitar, or taking a dance class, or writing a book. Because again, the point is not to get a bunch of applause from an audience.

The point is to become more yourself.

Julia Cameron puts it this way:

The point of the work IS the work. Fame interferes with that perceptionโ€ฆ We all like credit where credit is due. As artists, we donโ€™t always get it. Yet, focusing on fameโ€”on whether we are getting enoughโ€”creates a continual feeling of lackโ€ฆ Remember, treating yourself like a precious object will make you strong. When you have been to toxified but the fame drug, you need to detox by coddling yourself. Whatโ€™s in order here is a great deal of gentlenessโ€ฆโ€

So to reiterate, you find a creative project you can take on just for the sake of the creative projectโ€”not for the sake of sharing itโ€”and then you act incredibly gentle and gracious with yourself as you explore and get curious and make a giant mess and a fool of yourself.

This will detox you of the fame drug.

  1. Thank you Allison for this great article. I have only recently found you while actually attempting to set up my own blog and yours was listed as an example of the “Beautiful Pro Theme.” I am so glad that I did find you. I love everything you have written so far and can totally relate to most of it. This one particularly hit me as just five minutes earlier I was discussing this exact topic with a friend. You have put beautiful words to my thoughts. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with all of us.

    1. mm

      Terriโ€”I’m so glad! It’s great to hear you’re liking the content and also the theme. This theme has served me well for awhile now ๐Ÿ™‚ Hope to see and hear more from you!

  2. This hit me for sure. When you know a lot of people who have become “successful” and that success inevitably involves notoriety, it’s really hard to feel satisfied with anything different than that. Yet fame feels super scary too – I felt this so profoundly when watching the “Amy” documentary a few months ago. It’s unbelievable how much potential for destruction the internal and external pressures of fame can create.

    Thank you for writing this! I needed to hear it. And very excited for the course. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. mm

      I need to watch that Amy documentary! As I was researching for this, I read several things about the doc, but haven’t seen it yet myself.

      Thanks Mellisa. This seems like a conversation not enough of us are having, but the truth is we live in a world where it’s so hard to negotiate our craving for “fame” (whatever that looks like for us) and the fact that we can see plainly how it won’t make us happy.

  3. I needed this today. God has been stirring this mentality in my heart for awhile now, but you found the words to help it sink in. Keep writing, because it is making a difference in my life. One of the things I really appreciate about you, Ally, is the fact that your voice feels so familiar. Your writing makes me feel as if you were sitting with me for a cup of coffee just talking about life and the revelations of your heart. You are so loved and appreciated, I hope you feel (and know) that.

    Much love,
    Alicia

      Thank you so very much Alicia. I think that could very well be the best compliment I can receive as a writer. Glad this topic is leaving people thinking. Appreciate you reading and sharing your thoughts.

  4. Just wanted to add my two cents to the mix. Iโ€™ve been going through quite a difficult time where Iโ€™ve been questioning my life choices and selfishly viewing fame as the thing that I want to pursue that will fix everything. And in my mind I fully understand that one, fame is not at all easily achievable and can be quite fleeting. And in addition to that doing anything in the pursuit of fame will never fix you or heal you in the way you need to be healed. I just need my heart to believe that, and reading your articles on the bad days helps me check into reality and try and love my life and all the things Iโ€™ve got going for me rather than seeing them as much insignificant. I want to fix my attitude and look forward to reading more pieces from you perhaps on this topic bc youโ€™re an amazing writer.

  5. Greetings- I was researching on another site for personal growth and my finger slipped over the shattered screen on my outdated phone, inadvertently clicking on a link to this page. I donโ€™t know if it was the โ€œneat & cleanโ€ page design or what, but I decided to give it a look before clicking back. Iโ€™m glad I didnโ€™t click back. Iโ€™ve never heard of you or your site, as Iโ€™m rather detached from names, but I was sincerely moved to sign up for more. You have a captivating way with your words! Thank you for sharing!

  21. Saat kita bertandang di casino, baik itu casino darat atau casino online, kita akan merasakan ada sebagian variasi
    judi slot yang ditawarkan. Tidak main-main, ada sebagian ratus permainan slot yang ditawarkan.

    Ini berbanding benar-benar jauh dengan permainan casino yang
    lain yang mempunyai sedikit ragam. Walau ada sebagian puluh
    meja, melainkan permainan yang ditawarkan tentu hanya
    sekitar judi kartu, dadu, atau permainan lain yang telah lama ada.

    Permainan judi slot, yang lebih tepat dikatakan sebagai e-games ini, berdasar gameplaynya terdiri jadi 3 tipe:

    Slot online & video slot, merupakan mesin slot layaknya
    yang awam kita memperhatikan di film-film. Slot online dapat
    kita menangi ketika kita mendapat simbol-simbol atau gambar
    khusus di sebagian kolom yang cakap diacak nanti.

    Table & card games, yang umumnya datang dari permainan-permainan live casino.
    Penampilannya juga biasanya tak jauh dengan penampilan casino yang mengaplikasikan latar serta nuansa meja hijaunya.

    Fishing games, yang merupakan permainan tembak ikan yang sekarang semakin terkenal di Asia.
    Untuk mempermudah serta membikin permainan lebih hebat, sebaiknya permainan ini dimainkan online
    bersama dengan pemain yang lain.

  22. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video
    to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could
    be giving us something enlightening to read?

  46. Education is an important factor in developing an identity as a student. They are preparing their assignments for most of their days. Whether it’s school or college, your degree plays a key part. Students focus on structuring their lives to make money. There are plenty of tasks that you have to work on whether you study at school or college. They must also succeed in classes, seminars, and other activities outside the institution. The assignment is a significant element of the life of a student. It not only supports the growth of students but helps them to obtain good marks on exams. Assignment Expert can help you to get higher marks.

    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off
    topic but I had to tell someone!

  49. Right here is the right web site for anyone who hopes to find out about this topic.

    for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever
    before.

    up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to

    I know this is completely off topic but I had to share
    it with someone!

    However, think on this, what if you typed a catchier title?
    I am not suggesting your content isn’t good., but what if you added a headline that makes
    people want more? I mean The Danger of Wanting to Be Famous (and What's So Much Better) is a little plain. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create news headlines to get people to click.
    You might try adding a video or a related pic or two
    to get readers interested about what you’ve written. In my
    opinion, it could bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
