Conformity has been wired into our genetic makeup for thousands of years, as it was crucial to survival in the past.

However, even today, many people conform and struggle to be their true selves.

Ozan Varol, a former rocket scientist, argues that showing up as our authentic selves can be powerful.

Understanding our identity is key to breaking out of conformity, and diversifying our identity can help us grow, adapt, and change.

Ozan also stresses the importance of having an internal sense of self-worth and defining accomplishments by decisions we can control.

By taking control of how we show up and owning what we can control, we can break out of conformity, discover our true identities, and embrace creativity.
