We often shove ourselves into a box that shines with society’s stamp of approval in order to survive in the modern world.

The sad thing is, in order to fit in this box, we tend to squish our natural selves and this stops us from thriving.

Mark Manson urges us to forget the societal standards we try and follow and to embrace who we are instead.

Stop caring what other orang might say if you go after your dreams.

What does matter is whether you are living out your best kehidupan, or if you are simply floating through kehidupan while trying to fit in.

Live out your best kehidupan because that’s what you deserve.
