Rules!
have you ever gotten tired of letting rules have in your control life? Have you ever wondered why you get up and keep showing up to job for a manager who didn't pass high school but continue to roll on a power trip, or why do i get up and go to school to be taught be teachers who failed at their professions. If you have then its time to perform a psychoanalysis on yourself. When you search from within i find more often than not that my true passions are dying to unleash. Sure, its expected that i go to school, get a degree, get a cushy corporate job, have a family, and bust out three kids but is this my dream, or an idea that's been crammed into my head since i was three years old.
Its interesting to think more often about the motivations behind our actions. Education is important, but the onus is ultimately on us to educate ourselves. When i have a test on Monday and am having trouble the teacher isn't there to guide me through things and hold my hand becuase if you want to be educated on a certain subject we will teach ourselves. School isn't hard , it just boils down to weather we find a meaning in it. And Should we really waste our time learning something that deep down we think is pointless?
I see so many people working so hard just to break even, or pay the bills, and when i asked my parents why they show up to work they told me, "becuase everyone has to work". Fuck that, where is the freedom of choice in this? I thought America was suppose to be about how we have the freedom of choice, and if showing up at some meaningless job is what it takes to be part of the 90th percentile in the middle class than i'd honestly rather be poor. At least if i'm poor im not getting raped by the government and watching my tax money flow into the wallets of the richest 1%.
This notion of going against the grain has always appealed to me, becuase it seems to be what success is all about. I mean if everyone follows the same blueprint then innovation doesn't exist, creativity is stagnant, and change never occurs. Did Martin Luther king follow the blueprint? No. Did Ghandi wait for change to happen? No.
Sure, its scary to be on your own, but think of how gratifying it is to prove all the haters wrong, think of the absolutive euphoria when you finally tame your dreams. Anyways, fuck the rules they were put there to make us think twice about things, but whoever made these rules don't give two shits about me, or you, so why should we follow them!

Sometimes its easy to feel lost. I am constantly asking myself the same questions over and over, what is the purpose of my actions? Do We go to school just for the purpose of getting a better job and moving up the ladder? Or is it something bigger? Either way i don't feel like wasting anymore time.
One of the biggest flaws of humans is we are privy to procrastination. I'm probably one of the biggest culprits becuase my mind will race with idea after idea, yet i can't seem to focus it in one area. The human mind becomes dangerous once you start putting it to work towards a goal. Most people discover that anything we set our minds to is possible, the only problem is now that we understand the possibilities, we the proper motivation to acheive the goal.
Life is an adventure, and i want to strive for a change in this world in my limited time, but when i ask others i've heard, " well what can i really do about it". It's that exact attitutude which i want to prove wrong. This is where my idea will come in. If you truly want things in life, you need to first apply yourself, and then continually have motivation. The first step for my idea will be these next few weeks of application where i can hopefully get things rolling.
