Be yourself… not with the sheep flock

Life often seems so… trivial. Something that we don’t really give a damn for… We chase after all sorts of things, but never after „the life” itself. Life can’t be truly lived unless we truly realize that it exists like something separate from us… Only then we can take care of it just as we take care of other things.
We all think that if we exist, we live. And that’s not true at all… You truly live only when you’ve given a purpose to your life, a real meaning… when you know exactly who you are meant to be, why you came on this earth and where you’re heading.
I found out is very difficult to truly… find these things… but they are already there. They seem like they have been established long before you came and you can’t change anything. Many people call this „the destiny”… „the fate”. Maybe it’s true. Maybe we all have an already written destiny. But what does it mean? That’s the real question… How can we fulfill our destinies?
For me the answer is relatively simple now. First thing to do is to really live your life… as you feel it, as you believe is good for you. Once you’ve achieved this performance… because trust me, to live your life exactly the way you want, in a world in which everything is imposed… it’s a very difficult thing to do.
Then… the next thing you’ll have to do is to share with the world what you’ve learned from this life… from these experiences. You have to help others as much as possible, build good and beautiful things and leave behind… something meaningful. I think this would be a very good destiny to fulfill.
We’ve started this journey called „life” without any rules, without any instructions and without any traditions. We were born naked and pure and free. Then… the family, the school, the society, the friends and the partners… all of them try very hard to fill you with their own knowledge. They impose you rules, normes and traditions… They cover you with countless masks and give you roles to play. They must teach you, they must educate you, they must show you how to… do everything. They have to control you, they have to protect you, they have to change you, they have to destroy the real YOU. This is their mission. This is the true purpose of the system…
And finally… you’re not naked anymore, nor pure, nor free. You’re not a human being anymore. You are just a piece of the puzzle, a robot, a machine, a product… you become the sum of the experiences… you become just a character in this drama… you become an actor on this stage… you become „a thing”.
The truth is that the only real battle is the one with your own self. How strong do you believe in your own thoughts and feelings? How steadfastly do you live your life? How free you will be when you’ll leave this world? That’s the only fight that really matters… To find yourself first… and then to be yourself… your authentic self… from the moment you were born… until the last day of your life.
You don’t need to know more than you know right now, you don’t need to be educated by others, you don’t need anyone and anything… You only need God and yourself. These are the only things you’ll need to succeed in your life. God will be with you at every step of the way to guide you through the life that you are meant to live.
Do not get blinded by their lies, nor frightened and defeated by uncertainties or by their false superiority. We are all equal in the eyes of God. What differentiates us is the lie, the manipulation, the intimidation and the false advertising. There’s no one better than you, nobody is stronger, bigger, smarter or more beautiful… It’s all relative. All you need is… a pair of eyes… that really sees the truth, an open mind that really understands it and a kind heart that accepts it all.
I’ve been through a lot, I saw and experienced many things in this life. What I’m saying here today is a conclusion for which I’ve studied and worked hard to get. It’s not easy to go through hell, but you must do it if you want to get to paradise… Everything has a price, and I was always willing to pay for it. Throughout my life hundreds of people have passed… but nobody hasn’t really shaken me… inside… making me doubt about my principles and my beliefs. Over time I’ve noticed that, when I’m meeting new people, they’re highly motivated to „help me”, „teach me”, but mainly to show me „what is wrong with me”. :) So I’ve found out that they all have the same goal… to turn me into what they were transformed by others – into that trained monkey without any personality, without any possibility, without any conscience… only a mechanized being, designed and manufactured to perform tasks…
And this thing wouldn’t be so wrong if the society would have been based on equality and collaboration. Unfortunately the hierarchy of this society is very injust: the rich over the poor, the strong over the weak, the leaders over the slaves.
Regarding myself… this manipulative scheme didn’t worked for 39 years now… and I doubt it will ever succeed. I was self-taught of everything I know, I was self-educated by experiences and I’ve always checked everything through my own thought-filter and acted only accordingly with my conscience.
I can’t say that I’ve never been manipulated – I’d be lying… Yes, there were times in my life when I was there… struggling with a low self-confidence, questioning my life, my choices… I was carried too by the wave… with the sheep flock… All I can say is… that’s not a life. That’s a simulation of life and there’s nothing real about it.
You know… I’ve also noticed that there are some people out there that don’t really want to live their lives freely… they don’t want to really experience everything on their own skin. They are too scared… of falling, of consequences… of the unknown… They choose to follow precisely what is conveyed by the family, by the teachers, by the bosses, by the politicians, by the media, by their friends etc. That life is so simple… and „safe”…
I’m really sorry for all these people. I am the living proof that life, no matter how difficult it is sometimes, it really worth living. An authentic life with every moment lived intensely… is priceless. Because you know what? The day you will close your eyes for the last time… you will regret that you have not taken advantage of this wonderful gift from God… That I can assure you.
So, stand up, please… Give yourself another chance and wipe off the dust from your brain and from your heart… Live now, in this moment… think with your own mind, feel everything in an authentic way and taste it! This is your life… take it back! Let go of the rules and the traditions and the superstitions and just go! Go live your life… now! You were born alone and you will die alone. Only God will really guide you towards the best path you can take. And… only God can judge you.
