I Hate Conformity

Which was why I didn’t begin my career with audit. In my short 23 year stint as a human being, the best (read: happiest) times of my life was doing the impossible, the unthinkable and the unusual/unsafe. It breathes life into me- I found my happiness doing Arts in college (rather than science, which I hated in secondary school) and getting into OCS when it appears that my weight, health and fitness level then (and now) screams “NO WAY!”

I get energy doing the strange; life when I do the audacious. Sometimes it gets lonely, but nonetheless I’ve learned that that’s the price to pay. The safe route is just too boring. So I stole off this encouragement mantra to keep going:

A 4-Step Encouragement Mantra for the Journey

(Note: I wrote this in first-person, for myself… but please steal and modify it for yourself.)

1. I can do it.
2. I could always have a regular life somewhere.
3. But I’ve chosen a different path.
4. And I won’t give up.
