Being in "intense" is not bad

In the relentless pursuit of goals, it is not uncommon to encounter phrases such as "You are too intense" or "Take a break, you've done enough." These words often come from a place of discomfort, as those around you struggle to understand your unwavering drive and dedication. However, it is crucial to recognize that this is not a flaw. If the advice to slow down doesn't resonate with you, just should trust your instincts and continue forging ahead.

It is essential to surround ourselves with individuals who share your curiosity and passion for life. Seek out like-minded people, not solely driven by ambition, but by the sheer desire to explore and experience all that life has to offer, who can provide the support and understanding you need. You can maintain amicable and respectful relationships with everyone while gravitating toward those who truly resonate with you.

As you grow old, you realize that lacking a sense of purpose and not actively working towards your goals, is far more distressing than the stress and hard work you willingly choose. Live life on your own terms, and chase those experiences, and achievements that ignite your soul. If you have a vision, run even harder to turn it into reality, and refuse to let others belittle your dreams.

Society often instills a layer of self-doubt within when you deviate from its prescribed path. When you don't relax or party as others do, it can be challenging to resist the pressure to conform. However, remember that it’s perfectly acceptable to just be yourself. You need not change who you are to fit in or half-heartedly accept your situation.

The act of changing ourselves to fit in is detrimental to both our well-being and personal growth. It is important to recognize that the problem lies not within your intensity, but in the perception of others. This is especially true for women, who often face resistance when expressing their curiosity and intensity. They may be told that they are "too much," but over time, they come to realize that you do not want to be around people who demand you to be less in order to gain acceptance.

Embrace your intensity as a source of power and inspiration. By staying true to ourselves and surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals, we can harness our drive to achieve greatness. Our intensity is not a flaw; it is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to living life to the fullest.
