The World Is Flat!
Yes, that is what the groundhog style, mediocre existence, slave drivers would have you believe for their own benefit : that the world is flat. To serve their own agenda they want you to believe that the world is flat so that you will never venture far from them in fear that you will simply fall off the end of the earth and into your doom.
We are raised in a society which teaches us the importance of getting an education, working hard, saving for retirement, having a nice big house and car to impress friends and family etc. It’s a vicious cycle. We are automatically hardwired into the rat race and have to keep performing on the wheel. Every day the same cage and master dictating to us when to breath, eat, smile and holiday. What a miserable existence. No wonder depression and suicide plague our lives. It is rare these days not to know at least a few tortured souls who have succumbed to these fates.
The trouble is though, that once in the wheel of doom we get brainwashed into catatonic zombies. The morbid headline news of murder, rape, incest and theft, the mindless gossip and backstabbing and always being surrounded by other brain dead lifeless souls who only act to reinforce the same, unacceptable standard of living, is our world. As much as we humans like to be individuals, we also very much wish to fit in, so even if a spark of your spirit is still alive and you secretly dream of the life full of excitement and freedom, the life outside of the cage, the moment you tell your peers, they only call you crazy and cast their limited mindset over you, until eventually, you become submissive and although desperately not happy with your life or situation, you live in fear that if you do venture too far from what you consider “normal life” you will surely fall of the end of the earth and perish because you have been lead to believe that the world is flat. Living in the rat race is similiar to being in an abusive relationship. You desperately wish to be free from the pain, but at the same time strangely entangled with it, and you are scared that you will not know what to do when you are free because you have been so conditioned to have someone else think for you and control your life.
Well, ladies and gentleman, I’m here to tell you that the world is NOT flat – it is round and has more dimensions and magic to it than you could ever conceive.
200 years ago they would have burned me at the stake for having these views, so needless to say I feel blessed that we live in this era. We have come so far, women’s rights, blacks rights, equality, commercial aviation, cyberspace. Humans are continuously breaking down new frontiers and redefining new cultures. These are exciting times!
Yet the majority of the population is still living in the dark ages, enslaved to the system. A real tragedy.
The biggest concern for “the world is flat” thinkers is that if they leave, even for a few years to follow their heart, travel, live and breath fresh air, that when their travels come to an end and their savings expire, they would need to start all over again at the bottom of the wheel, or even worse, they would not be able to find a cage to crawl back into, essentially being a mouse without cheese or a hole in the wall to get his identity from. Did this offend you? Well, I’m sorry, but your LIFE is offensive.
There is an entire world, FULL of truly happy, smiling, laughing, generous and kind people who epitomize happiness because they have been wise and escaped from the rat race; and you deserve to be one of these people too. You deserve to experience the best of life and to be happy. Be comforted and inspired by the fact that everyone of these happy people living the life of their dreams were all at one stage an absolute slave to the system and believed that the world was flat too, but they all desired a better life for themselves, and even though they did not know any life outside of the rat race, and suffered from the same fears and irrationalities as you do, they all found the courage within to escape.
When you do break free of the rat race, you will find that life is governed by an entire new set of rules : your ATTITUDE and ENERGY. The key to successfully maintaining your new freedom is to go out into your new world with the best attitude and biggest smile. You have to be ready to explore your boundaries, get out of your comfort zones, speak to strangers, have an insatiable curiosity and desire to explore and get to know everything. Travel by yourself, travel with new friends, spend time in the mountains, randomly take opportunities even if it means getting on a flight and traveling to an exotic location on the other side of the world that very afternoon. You have to leave the rat race with the intention and attitude of “You will do anything possible to create your best life”.
This does not mean that you have to lower the standard of your life in order to escape and be free. NO! It simply means that you need to HAVE THE ATTITUDE that you will do whatever is needed to maintain and protect your freedom and live your best life. Your attitude is going to decide your fate when things get tough and the possibility of giving up and going back is tempting. This determined attitude will naturally make you more resourceful and will set fire to your life, opening up new opportunities that were never there before. Yes, sometimes this will mean that you will have to lower the bar and do something which you are so overqualified for, but ultimately you will know that it is only a means to an end and that with your awesome attitude, you will eventually find the perfect way to fund the life of your dreams, luxuries and all!
A few years ago I went to California on a three month visa with the sole intention of learning how to DJ. I was so determined to learn and become a DJ that I was prepared to strip in a nightclub to fund myself while I learned. Moonlight at night, learn during the day, that was my dirty little secret plan. However the plan did not entirely sit well with me but I could not think of another way of doing it, however the determination and attitude was there. When I arrived I was so excited to be in America and so full of passion, dreams and drive that instantly new paths opened for me. That year turned out to be one of the best years of my life so far. Did I strip? No! Not once, did not even come close! Fate saw me becoming a massage therapist with my own practice which allowed me to work just a few hours a week and freed up the rest of my time to focus on my dreams and ambitions. That three month visa turned into an entire year which involved a four month marriage, living in a Mansion with an astronaut and his most amazing, beautiful wife (no association with the marriage), driving a Porsche, meeting some of my best friends, going to some serious San Francisco style parties, getting arrested for camping on military land just before a scheduled missile launch, going to Burning Man twice, being a catwalk model in a Playboy fashion show and of course, learning how to DJ. And that is just the stuff I can tell you about. Wow, what a year!
You see, none of that would have happened if I had listened to friends and family and succumbed to my tedious existence. Even though I did not know how I was going to make any of it happen, I had a dream to be free and I refused to believe that the world is flat, because it is not, it is delightfully round. Today, the possibility of going back to the rat race is virtually nil and void. This is rather dramatic, but I would rather d.i.e. than live that life again. Now, my entire life is full of like minded, amazing people who follow their hearts and live with purpose – always creating, exploring and being happy. In fact, as I sit here writing now, there are five friends in the house all relaxing and making plans on how to best enjoy this beautiful Monday. One in the kitchen making us lunch, another snoozing on the hammock, another applying for a scholarship so she can stay in Barcelona…
