THIS COULD BE THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
True freedom trembles in your grasp RIGHT NOW: will you choose to pause here and reconsider your entire life?
We are all born with limitless potential, unbelievable promise... and within each and every one of us lies the secret to happiness, to truth, to freedom. And yet... what have we done with this gift? You are taught to believe that THIS is the way things are, THIS is the truth you must believe, THIS is the way you must live your life... THESE are the things you can become. How many lives have been lost - either taken by their own hand or simply crushed under the weight of the collective reality - because people are just NOT AWARE THAT THEY HAVE A CHOICE IN HOW TO LIVE?
What is truly important? The nine-to-five, the hundred-thousand-dollar car, the widescreen TV... are these the things that the untapped human potential, the unbelievable POSSIBILITY of humanity needs to believe in? Or is it possible - just possible - that there is more out there than what they're telling you? Freedom is a threat to those who run the system. Freedom is a threat to THEIR status quo... because then it becomes more difficult to force-feed AWAKE and AWARE people their bullshit. Harder to force them to fit into the pigeonholes that any system of control must have, by definition.
Those who are different are more easily hated than anything. And the more any kind of difference is condemned(anyone remember Matthew Shepard?) the fewer people will have the courage to make a difference. No one wants to be outcast: no one wants to be alone. This, sadly, is human nature.
If the 'status quo' changes, if the worldview is threatened, then those who 'make the rules' might have to actually rethink the way they see the world. And who suffers? You. Who is trapped within the societal construct that defines who and what they are, defines their reality, defines their CHOICES, sets them on a path and judges them on their success or failure as a programmed drone? You. Who has the freedom to change that?
YOU.
Just take a moment to truly THINK: you do NOT have to accept "what the world wants from you". This doesn't mean quit your job, put your kids in a foster home, and start living in a cave on a mountaintop; it does, however, mean that YOU are the ONLY one who can choose what is right and real for YOU. The longer this goes on, the more people who simply sit back and accept the systems as unchangeable and necessary, the more people who don't want to rock the boat while they're in it, the more people are trapped into places they don't belong, lives that aren't theirs, and prisons that are built of nothing except the illusion that the control of your life's direction belongs to anyone OTHER THAN YOU. Step up; think it over; step back before you put your double-grande latte back down on your desk and ignore this. What do you believe? Want? Wish? Hope? Dream? And do you dare to make these things happen? Regardless of religion or belief structure, we ALL only get ONE chance here, now, in this lifetime.
Are you making the most of yours?
DO NOT fear being different. DO NOT fear choice. In a world where life and death are controlled by politics and money, where anything that doesn't conform to some undefined but still rigidly adhered-to standard of normalcy is grounds for ostracism and often abuse and murder, REMEMBER THAT A SYSTEM IS STILL MADE UP OF SINGLE INDIVIDUALS WITH INDIVIDUAL MINDS WHO HAVE THE UNALIENABLE RIGHT TO CHOOSE NOT TO CONTINUE TO LET THE CYCLE PERPETUATE. Do what you must, be happy when you do, and believe that you can. All of this is entirely up to you.
Think it over. For one single moment - open your eyes. You may never get another chance.
