FREEDOM, Are we really FREE to think and act by ourselves?

I’m free to think, speak and act in my own way and yes, I have the freedom to be wrong and learn from that.

We live in a free world and it is supposed that we have the freedom to choose what we want to think, be or do. The reality is that we live in a very conditioned world influenced by the media. We tend to choose to do or to believe the same thing that other people do.

It looks like we don’t like to use our minds, we just follow the leader. The “famous” people are selling their ideologies and we are just following them. Freedom is not the same word anymore. Its meaning is changing.

Freedom: The power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints.

Freedom Now: The power to act or speak or think with externally imposed ideas from the media.

Imagine all we can do if we really “have” the ability to create our OWN thoughts and use them to live the life we want. We, as human beings, HAVE the faculty to create our OWN thoughts. We have the capacity to avoid all the external messages and create our thoughts, feelings, emotions and beliefs. It is always better to create your life than just react to others' ideas.

Some people say that humans use only about 10% of the brain. I’m not really sure about that, but when I look around, it looks like we are not using our brain in a positive way. Since we were kids, we learned what to think based on other people's ideologies. Even in schools, there is not a class to teach HOW to think or make our own thoughts and statements.

Freedom doesn’t mean to think - or be - the most bizarre, eccentric or freaky thing. We are NOT competing in these categories. Freedom is the ability to create your OWN thoughts and act or talk in the way you think is BEST for you. You don’t need to accept all the things that society or other people (media) are trying to impose on you. When you follow somebody’s ideology (music, movies, shows, books, products) take the time to analyze and evaluate if it helps you to grow as a human being and helps you to be happy - or are you doing it just because your friends, loved ones or people around you are following it? Maybe you just want to fit in with that group of people. Maybe you just need to be loved and accepted.

People who know HOW to think for themselves are really FREE and independent. They are positive people. They know what to believe and how to be happy. They decide what to listen to, how to talk, what to think and how to act. They can easily separate trash from worthy material. They MAKE the time to think about everything they want and focus their minds on living the life they want to live.

Are you too busy to think about the most important decisions in your life? Are you loosing the ability to think by yourself? Do you know how to use your mind in a positive way? Are you a FREE person, or are you just following the media leaders?
