When you let go of what you believe that you should be, what the world is trying to tell you to be, and tap into who you are inside - real magic occurs. Everything is trying to drag you toward the middle where mediocrity lives. You ought to be this way, dress this way, talk this way, like this music, do these things - the list goes on forever.
The more you express your feelings, the further away from the standard you get, the more you feel the gravity of that pull trying to bring you back in. The rest of the world, as much as they revere those who revolutionize and change things, doesn't want you to become an outlier. But here's where most creative peoples passions live - on the fringes. That's where genius lives. This is where vision and dreams live. These are the most unique places in life.
If you're going to gamble on those, you better be ready to feel the pressure from the giant outside forces of normality. I did not understand that at the start of chasing my dreams. I believed that this force attempting to bring me back in was the honest thing to do. But in many cases I found out that the voice murmuring deep within me was the right thing to do because that is where my purpose and eagerness lives. If I ignored that I'd be forever living in deep regret.
Follow what makes you jump 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 might send you into very challenging circumstances, but that is what in the territory. You've got to be willing to seek that resistance and understand that once it shows up, you are in the right spot.
Be happy to be different. Make the sacrifices it takes to execute your dreams. You never know when you'll happen to be taken from this place, so you may as well give yourself the best chance feasible to go out with a spark and begin following your dreams.
