Why are we so afraid of not fitting into <\/b>society\u2019s box<\/i><\/b>?<\/b><\/b><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

A while ago, I came across a line from Leonard Cohen\u2019s song Anthem<\/i> that stayed with me: \u201cThere is a crack in everything, that\u2019s how the light gets in.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/i><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Sometimes, we all need to hear the right words at the right moment. For me, those words found me exactly when I needed them. They reminded me of something we all forget sometimes: We don\u2019t have to become the person society expects us to be. We don\u2019t have to follow a certain path, reach certain milestones, or fit perfectly into a box someone else created.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Childhood<\/span><\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When I was little, I wasn\u2019t good at sports. All my classmates in elementary school were better than me at playing volleyball, running faster than me, or vaulting the buck better than me.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Despite the fact that I was good at other subjects such as grammar, reading, and writing in foreign languages, I almost always thought that something was wrong with me because of my weaknesses that were highlighted by my bad grades in sports class.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As we grow up and become adults, it is the same. We go through similar situations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We all tend to find our imperfections within us. Society wants to point out what we aren\u2019t good enough at, regardless of all the other things we thrive in<\/b>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Despite the efforts we make to fit in this world, we sometimes come to the impression that we don\u2019t fit in the box<\/em>.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

No matter how good-looking you are, how many good grades you have, or how good of an employer or entrepreneur you are, there is always some room left for self-criticism imposed by society.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

We often fall into the abyss of finding our physical flaws or professional weaknesses. And here, I am not trying to say that there is something wrong if you want to be more fit or want to improve your labor or entrepreneurial skills.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Standards<\/span><\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

My dilemma here is that we don\u2019t have to fit into society\u2019s standards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We are all programmed by society to believe that we are wrong because we don\u2019t fit into a template, that there is a unique size and if you don\u2019t fit it, bad luck, you are out.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We are all different. We can\u2019t be good at everything; we can\u2019t do everything just because other people are doing it.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

You are you, with your strengths and weaknesses, with your goods and bads, with your ups and downs. And this is exactly what defines your uniqueness: the imperfection you bring to the world.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Imagine a world where we all look the same, dress the same, think the same, etc\u2026 How boring would that be? I don\u2019t even wanna imagine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Pressure<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u00a0From the moment you wake up until you reach your bed to go back to sleep, there is a continuous strive that comes from our external world in \u201chow to\u201d and \u201chow not to.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This, unfortunately, leads you to believe that you aren\u2019t enough, don\u2019t have what you are supposed to have, you are not where you should be, or you don\u2019t have the body you should have.<\/p>

So, who is to tell us all those things?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Authenticity<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Ok, I agree with us being inspired by everything we see, hear, or read, but make your own choices in the end. You know what\u2019s better for you, what food makes you feel better, how to learn faster and more efficiently, what clothes fit you better.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

What\u2019s good for me might not be good for you. So don\u2019t copy me just because what I am wearing is in trend right now. And this applies to every life situation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We tend to copy each other so we can fit into the standards \u201crequired\u201d by the world around us. And if we don\u2019t, we might lose chances to be cool or to be accepted \u2014 this is how most of us think.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Stop making everything in your life meet the world\u2019s expectations of you. Explore your undiscovered authenticity instead.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Moreover, since AI was born, we are bombarded even more by fake content. Our human culture is changing. Don\u2019t trust what\u2019s \u201cout there.\u201d That sexy voice you hear telling you that you don\u2019t fit in the \u201cbox\u201d might not even be real.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Don\u2019t compare your imperfections to a world where perfection means being all the same.<\/b><\/b><\/p>

Accept your flaws and weaknesses. Improve them if you can, but don\u2019t feel less if you can\u2019t. We are not meant to triumph all in the same way at the same time.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Forget about the marketing world that strikes you and trying to sell you something from the first moment of the day when you open your eyes, touch your cellphone, or check your email.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Find what incites you the most and trust your intuition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Social media is trying hard to show you every day a different way of living that is much better than yours right now. <\/b><\/b>Influencers attempt to tell you what you should eat, drink, wear, believe, think, love, or not.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We need to accept ourselves how we are. Don\u2019t accept receiving advice that doesn\u2019t fit your life just because everyone else does it.<\/p>
