A famous passage from the Gita

It is not beneficial to try to force yourself to suppress your natural tendencies.  It is far better to follow your innate calling, however imperfectly than it is to try to live the way someone else thinks you should.  Even if following someone else’s way of life would lead to more accomplishments, in the end, at the moment of death, it will be better to die having lived your own life rather than someone else’s.
