From the moment each of us wake up until we go back to sleep, all around, we see the same messages.
You can find them in songs, movies, advertising materials, everywhere.
Is like everybody was addicted to a pill called "work without thinking" and we just came out of rehab.
Since the beginning of times, there were a few guys that knew the secret. No, I'm not talking about the documentary with the universe and law of attraction. I am talking about repetitive message. If you go to a person and say the same things over and over again, you can make him believe it and act on it exactly how you want.
Examples of these messages are: "live your life", "follow your dreams", "do what makes you happy", "say Yes", "be free"; and so on... We believe in them because we are desperate for them. We live in a toxic environment and this is the fresh air.
Now, I'm not here to be your fresh air; I am here to give you a gas mask.
Isn't it awkward that, suddenly, we were invaded with this "freedom" propaganda?
Is it actually freedom?
In a world where we've developed our scent of individuality without caring or even thinking about somebody else, why do I believe that this is a way to control people?
Most of us work in big corporations. There is nothing better than getting a job at a big law firm or big bank. True! But I've seen these guys. You've seen them as well. They feel miserable. Routine killed their spirit and it's like they've lost that will to live.
So, here comes the big bang of happiness and dreams achieved, with testimonials and real life examples.
What happens with the guys that crack? Under a lot of stress, many can snap! They get sick of being bossed around and they decide to follow their long life dream.
The problem is that many of them really give up their job. Put yourself in this situation. Close your eyes and imagine yourself sick of the job you have. You just resigned and you go for your dream.
You feel good, right? You worked enough, you put some money aside; it's time to follow your dream.
Everything is smooth for a couple of days when... panic installs. What do you do? How do you start? You start having second thoughts about it. You don't know which way to go...
I don't want to get you bored so, here is the truth in two clear points:
1. There are two types of persons: the TALKer and the DOer. Most of the dreamers are still dreaming.
Don't sit and think how it would be, do something to experience it. Do not wait for it to come because it will never happen!
2. If you are going for it, take in consideration what you need. Consult with friends and officials. Make a plan for yourself and keep it in mind all the way!
All I'm saying is that, everybody must follow their dreams and do what they like. But this movement of "feel good" has to be controlled somehow.
Sleep tight!
