Admit it, the pressure is astronomical.
When you feel like you have to be someone you are not, to act in a different way than what your soul wants you to act like and dress according to standard things can feel pretty off inside. You stop being yourself and you end up being this image of what you "think you should be."
That's society for you.
But there's a different way.
When you let go of what you believe that you should be, what the world is trying to tell you to be, and listen to who you are deep down inside true magic begins to happen. Everything is making an attempt to drag you towards the middle where mediocrity lives. You are being told to be a specific way without actually offering up much value to the world.
Unfortunate but true.
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 willing to step out into the spotlight and be different than everyone else, there are going to be significant forces at play to make you doubt yourself. Don't listen to the critic inside or the critic outside trying to bring you down. Instead, listen to that wise voice inside of you egging you on to be the person you know you can be.
Follow what makes you jump out of bed in the morning. Follow what makes your heart light up. Those positive feelings will never send you in the wrong direction. They might send you into very challenging scenarios, but that is what comes with the territory. You need to be willing to seek that resistance and understand that once it shows up, you are in the right place.
Be happy with being different.
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.
