When you let go of what you believe you should be, what the world is trying to tell you to be, and listen to who you are deep down inside - true magic occurs. Everything is making an attempt 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 keeps growing for evermore.
The more you express your thoughts, the further away from the norm you get, the more you start to feel the gravity of that pull trying to bring you back in. The rest of the world, as much as they revere those that morph and change things, doesn't want you to become an outlier. But that's where most innovaters 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 decide that you are going to take a chance on those, you better be content to feel the pressure from the large outside forces of normality. I didn't understand that at the beginning. I thought that this force trying to bring me back in was the proper thing to do. But in several cases I found out that the voice whispering deep within me was the right thing to do because that is where my purpose and zeal lives. If I ignored that I might 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'd send you into extremely challenging scenarios, but that's what comes with the territory. You've got to be ready to seek that resistance and understand that once it shows up, you are in the right spot.
Be content to be different. Make the sacrifices it takes to execute your dreams. You never can tell when you'll happen to be taken from this place, so you may as well give yourself the best chance to go out with a bang and start following your dreams.
