<human>: I don't suffer from a lack of ambition, perhaps just a lack of personal rigor (?) I know what makes me happy, the things I enjoy and the things that bring me fulfillment, and yet every day I allow others to convince me that doing something else would be better. Although that may make them happier, more fulfilled and a better person, a lot of these things do the exact opposite for me and I quickly feel like I made a bad decision. Yet I do it, day, after day, after day. In little ways and big ways.

Everyone has his or her own image of what a good life looks like. For some it's fancy cars, large houses and being a celebrity. For others it's a pious life of deliberate self-sacrifice. Someone else might find it in playing video games and eating chips. The variety is astounding in and of itself. But I continue to let certain people walk all over me and allow their ideas of what a good life looks like to affect my decisions on how I should live my life in an adverse way. I don't mean that I shouldn't be open minded but I've already tried some of those things and have decided it's not for me yet I continue to do it.

I think part of my problem is that I don't recognize when this is happening. My self-talk has developed in a way that leads me to quickly justify any changes to my immediate actions away from my long-term goals. I don't know if this is just the definition of peer pressure or not, I don't think I had many opportunities to fight it in high school with so few friends in the first place. But that's besides the point.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: How do I stick to my guns and ensure that I'm doing the things that will make me happy, not what will make others happy?
