There's a massive amount of pressure on you.
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.
If you let go of everything that you think you "should be" and make room for who you really are, you can begin to discover all that life really has to offer you. You can open up to seeing the possibilities for yourself and really begin to understand the core characteristics that make you so special.
Wouldn't that be amazing?
The more that you express yourself and the further away from normal you get the more that you begin to feel the gravity of that pull attempting to bring you back in. The rest of the world, as much as they revere those that innovate and change things, doesn't want you to become an outlier. But that's where most innovators passions live - on the fringes. This is where genius lives. That's where vision and dreams live. These are the most unique places in life.
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.
Do whatever it takes to invest into yourself to become the best person you can possibly be. When you do this you really show yourself and the world that you believe in yourself and know that you have what it takes.
