I think this is appropriate here:

Dr. Albert Schweitzer, who said:** “At that point in life where your talent meets the needs of the world, that’s where God wants you to be.”**

Variations of this have been attributed to Aristotle, Bach, Robert Louis Stevenson.

I think AUTHENTICITY is key to being NON-conformist. People who endeavor to KNOW themselves discovers their GOD given talents, then go to the next step which is to REALIZE that their specific constellation of talents were given to develop in service to the world. NEXT: THEY DO IT. A true NON-conformist knows this on a deep level and superficiality, trendiness, indoctrination is superseded and falls away.

I will add that deep satisfaction the human soul incarnate in physical/materiality really wants is attained through what I call WHOLESOME ENDEAVOR which is energy expended in (no particular order) creating, building, exploring, lifting, inspiring, informing, comforting, assisting, nurturing, synthesizing, instructing.

"All are called, few choose to listen."
