You may be pressured up to conform to certain lifestyle or to shift from your true identity in the bid to look like someone else, probably someone that you admire. Well, it is worthy to note that you can effectively function in maximum capacity if you function as yourself and not as someone else. If you decide to function in someone else's capacity, the best you can come up with is a "second". This is why you need to be "you".

No matter how a bird admires a fish, it cannot swim. The same goes to the fish - no matter how it admires the bird, it cannot fly because it was not designed for flight. Each time you pressure yourself to be someone else, just be prepared to face unnatural stress and strain.
The glory of someone is better emerged when they function within their jurisdiction. Do not let anyone's criteria set the standard for your life. You were not born to fulfil someone else's standards but your own.
Making a lasting impact is only possible when you do what you are engraced to do. Messi and Ronaldo are both celebrated as true legends in the world of soccer right? Do you think their legendary feat will continue if they port from football and enter high jump or swimming?
As you live, just realize that you have not come to compete or contend with anyone or with their high scores. As long as you are able to beat your own records and surpass your personal high scores, then you are making considerable progress.
