It seems today, with everyone being “connected” 24/7, 365 days a year, we are constantly comparing ourselves to friends, family, celebrities, and total strangers. As part of the generation that grew up with social media, it’s hard not to notice that all of my friends are striving for the same exact goal as if that’s the only path in life. Everyone wants to be a Kardashian now, but what they don’t realize is that these pseudo-celebrities are Desperate for your approval. These people are the saddest, greediest, fake human beings in the nation. They will alter their natural body with plastic surgery for you. They tattoo permanent ink all over their bodies, including their face, for you. These puppets will never stop smiling, they will never stop “dancing”. They will always do whatever it takes to stay relevant in your eyes. They are slaves to vanity, money, and your opinion. Think about that for a moment, that makes you pretty damn powerful. Is that truly the life you want? You are given one chance at Life, one body, one mind, one opportunity for consciousness. Do you want to spend it desperate for the approval of others? Materialism is not the answer and will leave you hollow. Now don’t get me wrong, I love music, I love films and watching my favorite television shows, I believe they are beautiful art forms, but the point of this speech is for you, personally. Create your own Art, create your own fantasies, Be Yourself. Wake up and realize that this western view of happiness I.e. Money, sex, and Drugs, are not real, they are distractions. Love is real. Helping other people in need is real, without having to film yourself doing it for the approval of others. Stop seeking the “Praise of Men” because you lose the individuality that you were innately born with. This is your life. Yours. You can literally do anything that you want. The only reason you believe you can not is because of the mental restrictions and invisible walls you have built in order to protect yourself from experiencing “failure”. But what you don’t realize is that there is no such thing as failure, simply a way not to do something. Now I know that sounds like the cheesiest thing someone could say but think about the way a child experiences life, children fail constantly (walking, talking, etc) but they never stop trying. Persistence, Perseverance, and a Positive Attitude will never fail you. You have 100% control of your life. Do not let the negative people in your life dictate anything about you. Get rid of those people because they don’t support you and they don’t want you to be happy. Now, I know this is incredibly easy to write/say, and yes, it will take significant courage and willpower to break free of the negative chains holding you down but you are worth it, your life is worth it.
I’m sure you’re thinking that’s a bunch of BS, I can’t just quit my job, etc, etc. Remember this is not about Money! This is about enjoying the beautiful gift of Life. About being happy with yourself. It’s about spreading Peace, Love, and Joy to anyone and everyone you can. Volunteer at a charity, find faith in something, be apart of something bigger than yourself. We, as Americans, are bombarded day and night with this fake, corporate created, lifestyle that we should all adhere to without question and to be honest it’s because we are so deeply spoiled in life. Take a minute and realize that there are 7.53 BILLION people that share our planet, the United States of America has roughly 325.7 MILLION people. That’s 1/23 of the worlds population, a significant number for sure, but we are not the only ones here. The rest of the world does Not live like we do. We live like Kings and Queens, I know it’s hard to accept because we are always being told not to settle or be happy with what we have but take a minute and appreciate the blessings you have. You are an absolutely amazing, beautiful and infinitely unique creation. There is only ONE of you. One in 7.53 Billion. You hit the cosmic freakin jackpot, don’t throw it away trying to be someone else.
