Life has so much more to offer to us, but we often forget about that and get stuck so easily in so small thinking patterns. They’re so tiny, but it’s so hard to get out from there.
I don’t even have any solution, I guess each one of us should figure out something for themselves. The key is to think in the direction of how to be independent.
But the thing is that your surroundings will most probably do everything possible to keep you in a “safe” area. And that’s one of the traps. All your life you’ve probably been taught that you need to listen to your parents and other older people, cause they know better. All your life you’ve been rewarded for obeying the rules and punished for not to.
So in this case, even your own mind will tell you, are you doing something wrong? C’moon, everybody (in your surrounding) live their little lives with big depts, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you happy?
Well, you’re not happy, cause this is the way you are. And if you are not, it’s better to admit it to yourself. The thing is, generations after generations have been getting it wrong. Trying to please authorities around them (parents, teachers, bosses, partners) and passing this wrong pattern to their kids.
So if you see yourself as a bit different, not fitting, don’t worry, it’s probably for the best. These patterns are standing on their adepts, like financial pyramids, the more “victims” the stronger it is. So when somebody is trying to get out from the system, other ones usually take it hard and try even harder to keep you in the safe circle.
And here you’ll need to reeducate yourself. You’ll do “the bad” thing, while it’s actually good. And faster you do it, the easier it will be. Instead of putting energy into trying to fit yourself into the system that was designed to consume your time and energy while giving you a false image of safety, you’ll put your energy into exploring your true powers and abilities and truly contribute to the world and yourself.

I think we make our own slavery modern day sometimes if you really look at it. Social media has created monsters in the arena of wanting even more than generations before even did, insatiable appetites for more and more content, entertainment, things to make ourselves appear to be better than others, when really we are just rotten to the core, LOL!
Indeed, thank you for your comment! 🙂
Thanks for sharing your perspective! It’s really eye opening. I know websites have their commitments to this listed on their website but what other ways can we locate affordable clothes that don’t endorse this?
Thank you for your comment! If you mean sustainable clothing, the first step is to repair and reuse whatever you already have. Then you can also buy second hand if that’s an option and of course buy only from ethical shops. 🙂
I am guilty for doing these things so thank you for opening up my eye to this. I’ve been doing better though at consuming less and stepping out of the box
Thank you! Glad I could help 🙂
I feel the passion of your words “wake-up” and love that your expressing here. There is so much good that can happen if we stop outsourcing our thinking and lives to big corporates and greedy leaders. It’s time for big change. Humanity is powerful … so much potential for compassion and empathy as you demonstrate here. Keep sending your message out.
Thank you so much!
I love your words. We need to live in our own truth and continually expand and jump out of that box!
Exactly 🙂
Great words! Loved hearing your perspective. Thanks for the post!
