If you're feeling the pressure of living, you're in the right place.
You feel like you have to be something you're not. You might feel like you have to live up to someone standards or act a certain way. You feel all of these things and as hard as it is to walk away from that type of living it sucks you in time after time.
But that's what living in this world presents to us.
But there's a different way.
When you let go of what you believe that you should be, what the world is trying to tell you to be, and listen to who you are deep down inside true magic begins to happen. Everything is making an attempt to drag you towards the middle where mediocrity lives. You are being told to be a specific way without actually offering up much value to the world.
Unfortunate but true.
Always be yourself. No matter how many people try to tell you to be like everyone else always be yourself. You come into this world alone and you will go out from this world alone, but to know that you always stayed true to who you were and what mattered to you will allow you to lead a happy life. Know yourself and who you are are and stick to it at all costs.
If you're going to gamble on those, you better be willing to feel the pressure from the giant outside forces of normality. I did not understand that at the beginning. I believed that this force trying to bring me back in was the proper thing to do. But in numerous cases I discovered that the voice murmuring deep within me was the right thing to do because that is where my purpose and passion lives. If I paid little attention to that I might be forever living in deep regret.
Play the biggest game you possibly can in life. What I mean by that is playing a game that actually means something. Be on the field trying your best and failing. Just because you are failing doesn't make you a failure. The thing about failing is that you are getting closer and closer to success!
Be happy with being different.
Make the sacrifices it takes to achieve your dreams. You never can truly know when you will be taken from this place, so you might as well give yourself the best chance feasible to go out with a big bang and begin to make your dreams happen.
