Elizabeth Gilbert was a struggling author who was used to rejection letters until her memoir Eat, Pray, Love hit it big over 10 years ago. Years later, after her success, she found herself in a similar position, but on the other end of the spectrum. She felt pressured and uninspired due to the expectations placed upon her, and realized she was allowing outside influences to affect her joyful creativity. In this TED Talk, she talks about how we can all overcome these influences and remain true to ourselves.
