Being Yourself is LIVING ~ Being Someone Else is DYING

[TheAfrikanprincess]

I feel like posting videos for every single thought and things, hold conference, little groups , workshop talking to and with people...sharing insights that comes up in my mind but i am ssoooo scareeed. of what?....people will say...i forgot to be who I am because since young, i was told and believed I was too loud, too confident and I was humiliated a lot for being so confident. I am trying to come out of that...soo hard...

@TheAfrikanprincess Thanks for all your comments. You should just do it !! Do think so much about it.

[TheAfrikanprincess]

David, that hit me so deep down inside. effin hell. I was living while I was travelling the world for a year in 2007/2008. Including the camino de santiago.

I felt I was at heart with myself. I was writing for newspapers, travelling, catching up with friends, having fun, I also drawed a lot like I was doing back then when I was younger. It all gave me so much. Your videos give me the power and the braveness to pursue towards my inner dreams. Being me, is the best thing in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I look at most of todays world and see no life at all. Its almost like people are programmed to wake, go work, come home exhausted, rest a bit...go to bed, do it all over again. Then i get called a lazy stoner...It has nothing to do with lazyness. Its common sense. We as humans were not put here to enslave ourselves into the "norm" .

[Mindpetals]

@organicTREES420 we ARE programmed. That's exactly right. It's all about not deprogramming, but just letting go of the grip that was put on us. Thanks so much for sharing your words. Blessings.

You definitely make some good points ~ just worded incorrectly in some instances, in my personal opinion. I know teachers who love every minute of what they do, & have no desire to be or do anything else. I would've preferred it if you'd used something like a religious dogmas that one was born into & obliged to hang on to, or being homosexual, yet too fearful of living as such because of family, friends, religious dogma, society in general. Just be who you are & live every moment passionately.

[Mindpetals]

@annie46664 Thanks so much for watching. The teacher metaphor was just an example not meant to be taken literally. You are totally right, just being who you are is freedom. Blessings to you, my friend :)

this one reminds me of catcher in the rye hah, especially because the word phony.

I loved this video man, good stuff!

Although it may sounds bad for some, Don't live for others, Live for yourself!

[Mindpetals]

@VibrantEscape yeah... it's about being selfish in a good way. a way that will allow you to be so so so selfless.
