Freedom is all about choice.
As a society we’re cultured into fear. I used to be afraid to leave the classroom to go to the bathroom. I was also painfully shy (so your feelings of fear might be a little different).
As I got older, I realized most systems I was living in were filled with a bunch of bullshitters. Instead of doing anything real the focus was on blending, on talking out of your ass. On doing just enough to go unnoticed.
On maintaining a status quo. Personal freedom is bad for business.
Instead of choosing, we’re taught to pick pre-made tracks.
I remember the feeling of making an actual choice for myself. It was after my dad died. I was 20 years old.
For 20 years I managed to pass off my decision making. Nice work.
I didn’t know what to do. I was anxious. I thought I was going to die. I was definitely going to fuck up.
I did it anyways.
I taught myself how to program, I dove deep into philosophy and spirituality, and I started to meditate. Through intentional choice I began to lay the foundation for the world I’m currently rocking.
If you’re like me then you’re already on the outside. You see through the illusion of every large system imaginable. You see through the illusions in yourself.
You know it’s time for your badass self to shine.
