Rebel against the pressures of others
When going through life, you will encounter a lot of people who will want to impose their will upon you. They may want to obtain something from you, or could simply act because of their nature. They will try to steer you away from what you feel you want. Humans have a tremendous need to fit in. But if you want to contribute something meaningful, you will almost certainly have to rebel against these forces. Taking the mediocre path will only produce mediocre results.
Even the closest people to you will try to do this. Parents often try to steer their children towards the career they think would be best for them. But there is no way to do that. If you find yourself in this situation, rebel! Find your unique principles and stick to them.
