It's hard to stay true to yourself and what you want in life when there are so many distractions and so much craziness going on around you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Please don't think that I am one of those squishy types who can't handle reality. I have plenty of real-world things to deal with all the time. I have deadlines, meetings, I answer the phone, I get turned down, I wait in lines and am forced to pass for normal all the time.
I have to stay true to myself.
I certainly have the problem of focusing on doing everything now to get where I want to be, and not actually seeing and taking in and appreciating what's right in front of me or who's right in front of me.
Everybody tends to think I'm crazy, which is the biggest problem in my life.
Just in general, no matter what you're doing, be true to yourself. Never let anyone else dictate how you live your life.
The hard part about following your purpose is the distraction everyone pulls you toward.
I think people stop themselves from doing the things they want to do. I just think you never know how long you're going to be around so you might as well do the things that are intriguing. Nobody really cares anyway so you have to do what makes you happy.
It's all discipline and schedule for me. I mean, it's very easy to get distracted by the real world and things that intrude constantly, and it takes dedication to live totally in your head and be tuned out.
I want to stay true to who I am by trying to be in the moment.
It's very easy to get caught up in everything that's going on and just daily stuff being a distraction. When you have all that taken away from you, your daily activity becomes a lot more subtle, and you appreciate it all a lot more.
