Feeling Pressured to Follow the Crowd and Become Someone You’re Not?
In a world that pressures us to conform and toe the line, it can be nonflexible to live a fulfilling, pure life.
We can hands spend years trying to be someone or something we’re not—checking off all the right boxes, meeting everyone’s expectations—all in a bid to proceeds clearance from society, our peers, our parents, and plane ourselves.
But this comes at a steep forfeit to our well-being. Not only do we lose ourselves and slowly disconnect from everything that brings us joy and meaning, but we can moreover end up hating ourselves for struggling to measure up… when ironically, we don’t plane really want the things we’re pushing ourselves to achieve. We just think we’re supposed to attain them.
If any of this sounds familiar to you (and I suspect it does for most of us), I think you’ll fathom this heartfelt letter from Tiny Buddha freelancer Antasha Durbin Solomon’s book, Are You on the Right Track? A 101-Day Guided Periodical from the Universe.
I hope it serves as a reminder that the weightier person you can overly be is yourself.
