Awake Or Asleep?
What you consume, what you think of and what you experience plays a big part in programming your mind. There's so much that goes on in this little guy, much of it happening below your conscious awareness. You don't have to acknowledge something for it to imprint itself into the layers of your mind, it just does so naturally.
Until you realize just how much power your mind has over you, you will live your life (thinking you are awake), but really being asleep. This can go on for a very long time, forever it may be. Life may put your unconsciousness to the test by sending you trials, masked as messengers meant to wake you up from your sleep. But to catch them, you need 2 things: 1- a certain level of awareness 2- the desire to take a big leap into new territory. Once you have accessed the land of awakening, nothing will ever make you want to go back to the previous state of mind you were in.
Listen To Your Own Voice
Many humans go through life, doing what is expected of them or following a certain path because it is just what everyone does. This type of behavior raises vital questions, such as the following: Are you living life from a place of meaning?
You don't have to adhere to anything that doesn't resonate with you. You have been given this one life to live it in a way that aligns with your personal values, not with the beliefs that society has force-fed on you.
You are your own person.
Not the extension of your parents unfulfilled dreams.
Not the person that others want you to be.
You are a perfectly imperfect human being and you are complete just as you are.
There is no such thing as societal pressure, unless you give it permission to pressure you.
Being kind is still too much underrated, even more so when it comes to being kind to your own person.
Self-compassion can go a long way.
Be gentle with yourself.
Don't rush the timing of your life.
Respect your own timeline.
Let life unfold itself naturally.
There's no need to rush around everyday just for the sake of pretending to live life. You can't be a true liver of life if you have lost touch with yourself or if you have mistaken the voices of others as your own.
Get away from the noise.
Get closer to the sound of your soul.
