The whole point is that you’re here to be YOU. F*ck everything else. Sure, gather some tips, refine and get to know the you-ness, temper the rough edges _IF_ you feel a need but remember the rough edges are also the unique part. Mick Jagger didn’t get famous for behaving on stage like everyone else, Kate Bush didn’t become Kate Bush for sounding like everyone else,  Fernando Alonso isn’t #1 in the Grand Prix because he sticks to the speed limit.  Captain Paul Watson didn't start Sea Shepherd because he thought that someone else was already taking care of things.  

Hack through the tangled jungle of other people's ideas with a machete of pride and self-determination, light your way in shadowed valleys with the flaming torch of your desires; use your inspired vision to seek out a path of identity as you go through the indistinguishable undergrowth...and travel along the engineered, floodlit highways of expectation with reckless abandon.
