How many of us have done something to fit in? Maybe that was cutting our hair a certain way, buying a certain brand of clothes, or listening to a certain type of music. I know I have. Now how many of us then looked at ourselves and realized we didn't even like the way that haircut looked on us, that clothing brand, or that style of music. Yep, I've been there too. Why do we alter who we truly are just to fit in? I’ll tell you why I do...because I'm scared. I’m scared of the thought of people not liking me or of people thinking I'm “uncool”. I’m scared that following my own path will be much harder, and might even lead me to failure. But here’s the catch, we will never know until we try. If you go skydiving, but never jump out of the plane, then what's the point of the journey if you are too scared to take the leap of faith to experience the reward? Don’t let excuses and fear keep you from making the jump to following your own path, taking control of your own life, and finding that reward through it all. True freedom is being bold enough to decide for yourself.
