The Price of Fitting In vs. The Cost of Standing Out

Either you try to fit in wherever you are and have fun because if you try to fit in, you're going to live a double life because you're going to be living in a certain way to impress other people, to fit in with them, to not stand out, to just go with the flow. It's a lot easier to live that way. And it's what most people do and it makes sense, right? It is common sense that people would do that. The problem with that is, is you're not, you're going to have a hard time living that meaningful life because you're trying to fit in and please other people. The flip side of that is living in an exceptional, purpose driven, passion filled life, right? And if you do that, you're going to stand out, you're going to be different than everyone else. Your friends are going to look at you and they're going to go, dude, what's up with you? Right? And they're not going to recognize that it's actual growth and that's a problem. So either way you, you cut it, right? Either you're going to try to fit in and you're going to have that cognitive dissonance and not feel so great and know that you're missing out on just something else is out there. There's more to life than just going to work, paying the bills, buying a car, going on vacations. I mean, it gets folks.
