Have you ever felt the pressure of molding your actions – yourself – to the expectations of others?

The wrangling tension in you may be a signal as to what you should and should not be doing. When you’re not being yourself, or are molding your actions to the expectations of others, you might feel that squeezing, gnawing discomfort inside that signals you’re not following your heart.

There are times when we have to leave our comfort zones to reach higher heights and these may cause feelings of helplessness or ill feeling that are good and inevitable for our growth. Other times when we check with others for approval in our every move, or measure our efforts against those of others we are doing nothing but suffocating our true being.

There is a reason you were made the way you were, and have dreams that may not exactly “fit it.” When God created you, you were made to bring something unique to this world, to live out your purpose.

Imagine if you followed only the natural beat of your heart, the natural rhythm that flowed from within, the rhythm only God could orchestrate. Imagine if your actions only flowed from those rhythms the unique dreams and hopes that make you who you are, undefiled by expectations, stereotypes.

Strive today to start living your life for an audience of one. There’s a joy in being “different” if you are being you, the way God intended.
