Our world today is hyper sensitive. What I mean by this is, we are now in a time where anything and everything that occurs in the world can be placed in front of us. The age of the internet has changed our lives for both good and bad. So much so, that we no longer know what is real or fake unless it is a tangible item we can touch.
We are being manipulated by anyone and everyone that has access to a computer. Be that it is through the news being reported or by trolls on social media, it is hard to know what is real and what isn’t anymore. Life is hard enough to go through without having to now figure out if people, events and other things are real or not.
This leads me to how our lives are lived on a daily basis. With the age of the internet we are now over run by information. Information that is put out there to influence us, manipulate us, and control us to make decisions about products, people, places and things, we might not even have a clue what they are. Our lives are being taken over by mass marketing and brain washing of every subject known to man.
We are being told that right is wrong and wrong is right. We are being told that whatever we learned before is wrong and that we need to become woke to the new age of thinking. We are a part of a society that wants to erase and cancel you if they do not agree with what you are doing or saying as a person. We are being told to conform and be assimilated to this new way of thinking or you will no longer be allowed to be a part of this society.
What happened to this great nation that was founded on being different? What happened to having Freedom to be and do as you chose? What happened to being God fearing people? What happened to celebrating our differences and loving one another because of those differences? What happened to the American Dream?
It is still out there, you just have to make it happen. You have to choose to make it happen. You have to choose to not be a follower. You have to choose to be different. You have to choose what is right for you. Not because someone else tells you you have to do it. Not because someone is bullying you into it. Not because there are trolls on the internet trying to shame you, while hiding behind their computer screens.
If you are looking for happiness, if you are looking for freedom, if you are wanting to be truly free to live the way you want to, then start making your own choices. Start choosing to be you and not what someone else wants you to be. Do what you want to do, become what you want to become. You are the one in control of your life, you are the one writing your story. Remember you are the one writing your story, and you are the one who should be written how your story ends, not the media, not today’s society, and not anyone on the internet.
Break the chains that are holding you back from making the choices you want to make. Stop thinking you have to appease everyone. The only one you need to worry about is yourself. Obviously your partner and children are a part of that, but outside of that you don’t owe anyone else except our maker an explanation of how you want to live your life. With that said, don’t make a spectical of yourself. Don’t draw unnecessary attention to yourself, and don’t push yourself onto others. If people ask, that’s one thing, but don’t do what you don’t want others to do to you.
We can’t do anything about the past we have lived, we can only focus on the present and the future. Let go of the past, it doesn’t need to have power over you. Look to the future and see the joy and happiness you can have by the choices you are going to make. Remember you are the one who chooses. You are the one who has the power, not your partner, not your friends, not your parents, and not your boss. It’s you who has the final say in what you ultimately do with your life.
As a disclaimer, we do have to obey the rules and laws of the land that are established within our given countries and states we live in. For those who follow God, you may have rules by which you govern yourselves and those too should be followed to keep peace and harmony in your life. I am just wanting you to know that you are an individual that deserves happiness, and that you should be the one to determine what it is you can and cannot do to create that happiness. Don’t allow others to tell you otherwise because of the thought and feelings they have for themselves.
Be happy, make good choices, and celebrate others to help lift them up so they too can find their happiness in this life.
