Remain yourself
Many people try to conform to the people around them and what they find important. However to become happy you should pay more attention to what is important for you and to focus on that.
When we know we will be accepted regardless of what we aspire we can perform anything we want. May it be to follow our purpose to do a certain job or to look outside the box and do something completely difficult. It could be becoming an artist, a musician or a blogger. A lot of people will try to avoid these jobs but if that is what you really want to do you can make it work. However it’s true that a lot of parents will try to let you get a “real” job. When you are happy with yourself and live alone you can do anything you desire.
Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. – George Bernard Shaw
Frequently we think that we need to find ourselves, but where will we find ourselves? Rather then finding yourself is getting to know what kind of person you want to become. When the vision is there you can set your plan on how to get there. For example if you want to become a musician you will have to practise to become better to be able to earn money with it. Next you will be able to continue your path. The happier you are with yourself the easier it becomes to spend plenty of hours on your goals, without the feeling of having to apologize to others.
Conformity to what the people around you like the most has it’s advantages and disadvantages. To be the person you would like to be conformity is a hindrance. Instead of doing what you need to become the person you want to be, you would only do what is accepted by the people around you. You and the people around you will benefit more if you actually do what interests you. Being an employee in a big business while you wanted to become an artist will show in your daily life and in your emotions. You will be less happy and less motivated to continue untill you succeed.
