Admit it, the pressure is astronomical.
One of the worst things you can do for your character is be someone that you are not. Unfortunately, it happens to many of us where we start to morph into something completely unknown to us instead of be uniquely ourselves.
That's society for you.
But there's a different way.
When you decide to drop the act of being someone else and open up to being exactly who you are you give yourself the ability to become something completely different. You actually become the person you were always meant to be.
Isn't that amazing?
The more you open yourself up to the world and become yourself the more you will feel the gravity of this pull trying to bring you back into the middle. The rest of the world, as much as they admire people who are "different" doesn't actually want you to stand out. They want you to be exactly like them because then they won't feel so bad about themselves. Do it anyways.
If you're going to gamble on those, you better be willing to feel the pressure from the giant outside forces of normality. I did not understand that at the beginning. I believed that this force trying to bring me back in was the proper thing to do. But in numerous cases I discovered that the voice murmuring deep within me was the right thing to do because that is where my purpose and passion lives. If I paid little attention to that I might be forever living in deep regret.
Play the biggest game you possibly can in life. What I mean by that is playing a game that actually means something. Be on the field trying your best and failing. Just because you are failing doesn't make you a failure. The thing about failing is that you are getting closer and closer to success!
Be different. Be courageous.
Make the sacrifices it takes to achieve your dreams. You never can truly know when you will be taken from this place, so you might as well give yourself the best chance feasible to go out with a big bang and begin to make your dreams happen.
