When You Let Go Of What You Think You Should Become

By Evan Sanders


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 way down inside - true magic happens. Everything is attempting to drag you into 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 grows for evermore.

The more you deeply express your thoughts, the further away from the standard you get, the more that you feel the gravity of that pull trying to bring you back in. The rest of the globe, as much as they revere those that innovate and change things, does not want you to become an outlier. But that's where most peoples passions live - on the fringes. Here's where genius lives. This is where vision and dreams live. These are the most unique places in life.

If decide that you are going to take a bit of a chance on those, you better be willing 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 trying to bring me back in was the honest thing to do. Nonetheless in several cases I learned that the voice rustling deep inside of me was the honest thing to do because that's where my purpose and passion 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 might send you into really challenging situations, but that is what in 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 happy to be different. Make the sacrifices it takes to see your dreams. You never can tell when you'll be taken from this place, so you might as well give yourself the best chance feasible to go out with a bang and begin to follow your dreams.
