The more efficient way to live life is to live it with intent, to live it the way you specifically wanted it. Acknowledge that people–especially those who are around you, your friends or loved-ones, may have their own opinions, but their opinions should not hinder you from standing for your own. By all means follow your way, it’ll make you feel better. And if at some point you noticed that “yours” did not work, take full responsibility and learn from it. Experience pays better than trepidation. They may follow you if they want to, but for you, the easier path is to follow you first.
