RE: #Motivation: Be yourself, live your dreams!!
Love your post, @lightoj So introspective and true.
I think also society is largely narcissistic and lacking empathy/responsibility. It's not geared to 'look at itself' but to see a false projection of what it is to be a productive member of this society.
Of course, no human being thrives in such a box of falsehood and those that question or venture outside of these imaginary lines are met with push back. It really does, by it's very nature, create a false sense of self. Then you have to ask what it means to be 'human' and what effect does repression of true self truly have? When we see so much chaos, depression, violence going on in the world? Those that manage to break free from this or have such an urgency to follow their passion must have a strong inner self as to not succumb to defeat in the face of societal rejection/pushback. Not for the faint of heart.
And yet....ironically....we are inspired most by those that do.
I love your choice of words here. It's not for the weak hearts, they are mostly if not wholy consumed already. It's for those willing to change their environment and take a stand. For those who are ready to battle the society, fighting off all rejection and clearing the path of greatness for others to clearly see there's a way out.
So question.....Does one come into the world this way already or is it a choice? What makes the heart stronger?
Does one come into the world this way already or is it a choice?
I think it's a choice. A child comes into the world blank and pure, everything he is or transforms to be, comes from the influence of the surroundings.
What makes the heart stronger? Love, positivity and open-mind to change.
What do you think?
I ask out of speculation as I often ask these questions. I would think to a large degree, what you have answered is true but there has to be more to that in that often times a child growing up in a very negative environment somehow rises about that, whereas others growing up in the same environment might choose to mirror that out into the world.
I do think it has to do with self awareness and perhaps something more in the 'connection' to the heart or something bigger.
Ah
Perhaps the ability to keep the ego in check/balance as to continuously grow/learn through the heart
Thank you, @lightoj
Have a beautiful day
If more were willing to step out and stand up and use their ingenuity and inspirations for ALL , what we could accomplish! Unfortunately, self motivation these days is often driven by desires of personal gain only.
