Consistent authenticity is the most effective way to gain support from others when choosing a path different from their expectations.

“they want to see you consistently yourself and they also want they also want to see some level of certainty or some level of like you being able to live a meaningful life”

Embracing one's own idiosyncrasies and refusing to conform leads to a greater sense of self-authenticity.

“and I think that for me and all the weird stuff that I've done I've just found that the more weird that I am it makes me feel more me”

Challenging the status quo is only meaningful when done for the purpose of growth or living a more meaningful life rather than for the sake of being a rebel.

“my pet the answer is this bucking the status quo for the sake of bucking is not meaningful so when when I think about bucking the status quo when I've done it in my life when I've really challenges that it's status quo and have bifurcated from the status quo it is to grow it's to learn”
