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 way down inside - magic occurs. Everything is attempting 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 goes on for all time.
The more you express your feelings, the more you travel away from the standard you get, the more you start to feel the gravity of that pull trying to bring you back in. The rest of the planet, as much as they revere people who morph and change things, doesn't want you to become an outlier. But that's where most creative 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 take a chance on those, you better be content to feel the pressure from the giant outside forces of normality. I didn't actually understand that at the beginning. I thought that this force making an attempt to bring me back in was the right thing to do. But in many cases I discovered that the voice rustling deep within me was the right thing to do because that is where my purpose and eagerness lives. If I paid no attention to 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 would send you into really challenging circumstances, but that is what exists is part of the territory. You need to be ready to seek that resistance and understand that once it shows up, you are in the right place to begin with.
Be content to be different. Make the sacrifices it takes to execute your dreams. You never know when you'll be taken from this place, so you may as well give yourself the best chance possible to go out with a bang and begin to follow your dreams.
