Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening,
I'd like to ask something that's constantly on my mind, something that I shall call 'Flying Into The Wind'.
Simply put. My attitude to life and my desires doesn't seem to condone with the 'norm'. I'm *big time* *totally* content with it. However, it makes it difficult to socialize, not that my social skills are bad, in fact they are up to scratch, except the things that I find interesting and like to discuss the majority of people I come in contact with either brush off or don't seem very interested in. These include: books, philosophy, business ventures, goals, desires and all things that I believe matter most when it comes to succeeding in life. To me, the majority of people my age (19) seem super immature and don't appear to have their priorities/minds in the right places (that being subjective, of course).
I'm not sure if this is common or not, but I very much feel more at home when conversing, networking, and spending time around people with more life and professional experience as well as wisdom, from whom I can effectively learn, and gather insights. Usually these kinds of people fall in a much higher age bracket than I, making it fairly more difficult to spend time in their company.
Now when it comes to people in my age group, it boils down to what I said earlier, it's utterly difficult to meet intelligent, and like-minded individuals. I have couple close friends, however, once again, we just don't have the same views on life. Let alone attitudes.
So I'm stuck in the middle. Same age bracket doesn't seem compatible. Upper age bracket is compatible but rather inaccessible.
Another question that I have is, how do you remain confident and trust your inner beliefs/gut? I guess you could say I suck at reality. The things I desire and endeavor to achieve are rather ambitious. They refuse to settle for mediocrity. As a result, it comes as rather no wonder that I so often get slapped in the face with the words "Look at it realistically" or "Stop dreaming" and "Why can't you settle for less? After all, chances are, neither of us will live their dreams". It drives me nuts. My inner belief refuses these claims. To me they just feel right (Don't they say "trust your gut?" haha bet). After all, striving for just good forsakes excellence, no? To me it's either victory or decay. Win or perish.
It would rock to hear some of your thoughts on this, especially if you experience(d) the same.
Bring it on.
