Stay yourself despite the circumstances

Be happy who you are and stick to your goals

In life we prefer to satisfy the needs of the people around us and accomplish what their dreams are for us. However at some point you will arrive at a goal that doesn’t line up with the people around you. Despite the situation you should focus on the goals that are important for you.

Our world needs people that think differently and people who refuse to accept what is thought to be possible. Without people trying to push themselves through existing barriers there would never be progress in our world on certain areas. For example athletes push through obstacles that are supposed to be unsurpassable. If Usain Bolt wouldn’t have pushed himself so hard for years after years and sacrificing many daily pleasures, we would have never deemed it possible what he achieved. Now that everyone knows it’s possible we might see similar performances in the future.

My message, especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed. These are great qualities that they must work towards. This is my message to the young people. – A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Growing up we have friends that have similar environments and situations as ourselves. If we would all think the same and perform the actions there would be no difference between us and we would all reach the same goals. However despite growing up in a same way some dare to think differently and keep on challenging themselves. Force yourself to try out new activities and to have the courage to experiment new areas of life to achieve different results. The world needs people who are willing to be different and to find a new path to walk.

At a young age the world is our playground. Being young allows you to have time, lots of people expect you to not have found your passion yet, you have time to recover from failure and sometimes we have family that still support us. This is the perfect time to get out of your comfortzone, try new things and build on your skills. Being young often means not having a family of your own to take care of, still renting a place and not spending all your time to improve your own home. Take this time to experiment and to find what your goals should be later in life. The more new things you try out now the easier you can stay through to yourself in the long run.
