Am I the only one who is sick of television cramming down the same message over and over? The message I keep seeing is one of money, fame and power. It's like they tease us with these commercials where money seems to be solving everyone's problems. I know it's to sell a product but it really has a huge influence on our culture. No wonder it's socially unacceptable to leave your job to pursue a goal that won't make you loads of cash. Everyone's been so brainwashed that they can't fathom doing something huge without the reward of riches.
Everyday we are influenced by different things but how are we ever going to figure out what we really want? I'm a very impulsive person so these things are bad for me. I find that I can only think clearly when I'm alone in nature. There are no distractions. There is nobody judging me, influencing my decisions...there is no tv influencing me with commercials of hot girls and sports cars...it's just me. Whenever I go to the beach life seems so much more clear. The beach to me is a truth serum. When I'm there, I know what I want to do and I'm at peace.
If you have the same things going on, try going off alone somewhere with no distractions. I'd bring a piece of paper and write something down. Find your voice, not society's. Write what you want on that paper and then hold on to it. When you start getting down because you might not be on the fast track to fame and fortune pull that paper out and remember your voice.
