Official Audio Prompt

If you truly want more out of life, chances are you're not really going to fit in anywhere. I mean really fit it in. Because the majority of people settle for average, and if you don't drop down to their level, there's going to be conflict. They won't like the fact that you are committed to your dreams because it reminds them that they gave up on theirs. One of the biggest reasons most people don't follow through with their dream life is fear that they will be left out if they achieve it. This may be conscious or unconscious, but most people give up not because they can't make it, not because they are incapable, but because they are surrounded by people who have settled. People who don't want to see you succeed because that will remind them they did. They might start saying you've changed that you become successful not understanding that your goal was always to change, to develop, to reinvent yourself. You will hear ridiculous comments like successful people are greedy, or my favorite there's more to life than money. Of course, there's more to life than money; there's also more to life than struggling to pay bills and put food on the table.
