Being motivated to do something is always hard.  We are constantly enveloped by this mean blanket of society that tells us that we have to walk a certain way, talk a certain way and dress a certain way. Our friends and family all have expectations of us to do whats best for us and rarely do we sit down and figure out that its not what other people want us to do. Rather its what we were born to do.

I am a firm believer that everyone has a purpose. For most it may be to just be average. If you feel like thats what you were always supposed to do then thats ok. But  there will always be that group of people who try their best to full fill that purpose. It sucks that we live in a society were success, wealth and power are all judged by money and tangible goods. People forget that some of the most influential people in the world have this AND much more. The world doesn’t hand out things, and it does not give us everything that we want. And yet we convince ourselves that working hard and earning money is the key to being happy and successful. Success is in the mind. Happiness is in the heart. If you’re happy doing what you’re doing then you are successful. I pity people who think they are influential or powerful based on their wealth or their bank accounts. You may be a lawyer or a doctor or even a writer, that doesn’t make you powerful nor does it make you better than anyone else. But what the world gets in the end is a bunch of fake mannequins with a good job and money in their pocket.

I remember the expectations i had on myself, not from anyone else, and how i would beat myself up, day in and day out because i failed to reach all of them. Then i realised that it wasn’t my fault. I wasn’t meant to do any of the things i thought i was…i tried to walk down a crowded non-existent path that i was deluding myself with. I tried to be like the guy next to me.

The truth is that despite everything you do there will always be haters, there will always be someone who secretly wants to be you. Because when you choose to walk down the path that you want to, they realise that their path might not be so great. I see fake people left and right, with no character and a selfish, robotic mindset that may lead them to money. But the real people out there are the people who do what they want because they can and because they are willing to do it because they believe that thats their purpose. Don’t let society tell you what to do. Follow your own path, make your passion your profession and then maybe, success will chase you.
