Why would I want
to be like
everybody else?
Ever?
By some miracle
of Creation,
I am unique,
I came here to
make my own
contributions to
life, society,
and humanity.
If you and I
think like
everybody else,
we all become
a goopy,
boring,
stagnant,
uncreative,
unproductive,
homogenized,
mishmash of
conformist
hive minds
wearing the same hat.
Why would I?
Why would you?

What will you create with your mind today, your dreams and aspirations, or your worries and fears?
Observe the thoughts running rampant like little monkeys in your head. What messages are playing there? Are they a replay of the media hype you just watched on the news? If so, how are you feeling from it?
Resist letting your mind become a slave to someone else’s idea of what reality “should be”. The mass media constantly feeds us news that degrades our sense of self-worth. Disengage. Start listening to yourself.
Humanity is awakening. Trust in the power of your own mind and create with it. Every positive thought, vision, and action that comes from you can help to outweigh the negative forces in this world.

This post is an excerpt from my short read ebook, 25 Big Ways to Grow Your Life.
“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world, and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” ~ E.B. White
I know exactly what E.B. White means…
Must it be a choice? Perhaps the answer to E.B. White’s dilemma is to savor the world every day, while we save it. Or maybe savoring it in actual fact saves it? (Gratitude and reverence.)

If we didn’t have to spend so much time focusing on survival, would we spend more time on creative pursuits, and developing our own natural talents? Or is the question moot? Is technology slowly but surely reducing the human being to simply an observer of life?
The question is an important one, because the path we’re on may not be in the best interests of the growth of the human soul, and the real potential of the collective we call humanity.
What do you think?
“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

There is you and there is society.
You see yourself as a contributor to your society. (That’s a good thing.)
But there are those who have a great deal of control in your society who see you only as a servant to their society.
There is a vast chasm between those two viewpoints, don’t you think?
Who has control over your destiny right now?
And if you don’t like the answer, how to change that?
