When You Let Go Of What You Thought You Should Become

By Evan Sanders


When you let go of what you think you should be, what the world is trying to tell you to be, and deeply hear who you are way down inside - real magic happens. Everything is attempting 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 grows for evermore.

The more that you express yourself, the more you travel away from the norm you get, the more you start to feel the gravity of that pull attempting to bring you back in. The rest of the planet, as much as they revere those that innovate 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. 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 content to feel the pressure from the large outside forces of normality. I didn't actually understand that at the start of chasing my dreams. I believed that this force attempting to bring me back in was the right thing to do. However , in numerous cases I found out that the voice whispering deep inside of me was the right thing to do because that's where my purpose and eagerness lives. If I ignored that I would 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 is part of the territory. You've got to be willing 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 execute your dreams. You never can tell when you'll be taken from this place, so you truly may as well give yourself the best chance feasible to go out with a big bang and start following your dreams.
