If you stray too away from your own natural proclivities, it’s quiet time costly.
Do not compete with luck, you cannot necessarily win and you will have a bad time trying. Hence, just ignore the naturally arising feeling(s) of envy.
Give yourself 90% efforts – 10% chance of pursuing what you desire as life is an infinite game and we want to Minimize OVERALL regrets at the end of life, not just regrets in only one department.
Start slow, be persistent, have humility, focus & temperament (which are hugely lacking in today’s generation) and you can achieve marvels.
Straying away from ones natural proclivities is costly(emotionally and psychologically) in terms of being forced to do something we don’t like/enjoy.
