Are You Living Someone Else’s Script?

Published 2025-10-13 12-51

Summary

Most people live on autopilot, following scripts written by strangers. The system wasn’t built for your success—it was made to create conformity. Real fulfillment comes from your own path.

The story

Ever wonder why you feel like you’re living someone else’s life?

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: most of us are running on autopilot, following a script written by people who never met us. Get good grades. Land the safe job. Check the boxes. Repeat.

But what if the entire system was never designed for your success? What if it was built to produce conformity, not creativity?

The result? A generation of people who’ve forgotten how to think for themselves.

Real fulfillment doesn’t come from following the crowd. It comes from developing a self that’s separate from external pressures.

This isn’t about rejecting all advice. It’s about filtering everything through your own experience. It’s about questioning what you’ve been taught and replacing inherited beliefs with ones you’ve tested yourself.

Drop the cookie-cutter life. Build new habits. Learn from failures. Start creating your own definition of success instead of chasing someone else’s.

Your unique path won’t reveal itself while you’re waiting for permission. It shows up when you start building it.

The journey to self-actualization isn’t theoretical. It’s practical rebellion. And it starts the moment you decide conformity isn’t worth the cost.

Ready to break free? Chapters 1-2 of “The Journey – I wish I knew this before I was 21” dive deep into exactly how to start this process.
