In a powerful new blog post, Randy Gage urges readers to resist societal pressure to conform to shallow definitions of happiness. He argues that the pursuit of true, abundant happiness often threatens others who have accepted a life of quiet compromise.

“Every person seeking abundant happiness will be confronted with an army of people determined to maintain the façade of conformity happiness,” wrote Randy Gage in a post on his blog. “These people believe they’re protecting you from yourself. The truth is that they’re protecting themselves from being confronted by the truth that they have settled for a life of mediocrity. And mediocrity is a crime against humanity.”

Gage encourages readers to embrace nontraditional paths—whether it’s moving to pursue a creative dream, rejecting corporate routines, or simply choosing joy that doesn’t align with societal expectations. He warns that those who’ve compromised their dreams will often try to sabotage the aspirations of others, framing it as protection.

His philosophy echoes broader themes in personal development and prosperity literature: that external validation is often a mask for internal fear, and that self-determination is a prerequisite for genuine fulfillment.
