When you let go of what you think you should be, what the world is trying to tell you to be, and listen to who you are way down inside - true magic occurs. Everything is making an attempt to drag you towards the middle where mediocrity lives. You really should be this way, dress this way, talk this way, like this music, do these things - the list keeps growing forever.
The more that you express your feelings, the further away from the standard you get, the more you feel the gravity of that pull attempting to bring you back in. The rest of the globe, as much as they revere people who revolutionize and change things, doesn't want you to become an outlier. But here's where most peoples passions live - on the fringes. This is where genius lives. This is where vision and dreams live. These are the most unique places in life.
If you are going to gamble on those, you better be ready to feel the pressure from the giant outside forces of normality. I didn't actually understand that at the start of chasing my dreams. I was under the impression that this force attempting to bring me back in was the right thing to do. But in many cases I learned that the voice murmuring deep inside me was the right thing to do because honestly, that's where my purpose and zeal lives. If I ignored that I would be forever living in deep regret.
Follow what makes you leap out of bed in the morning. Follow what makes your heart light up. Those positive things will never send you in the wrong direction. They would send you into extremely challenging circumstances, but that's what is part of the territory. You've got to be happy to seek that resistance and understand that once it shows up, you are in the right place.
Be content to be different. Make the sacrifices it takes to carry out your dreams. You never can truly know when you'll happen to be taken from this place, so you truly may as well give yourself the best chance to go out with a spark and begin following your dreams.
