Sweet Dreams
ByThe one thing I have learned in this world is that song “Sweet Dreams” hold more true than most people will admit.
We live in a world of users, abusers, and those wanting used and abused.
Most of the people you encounter day to day is one of them. This being said it really comes down to being honest with yourself and what you really want out of life. If a 9-5 job just making ends meet is fine for you then more power to you. If you want more though, you need to get out of the cycle you are in an go for it.
People will stay in the cycle or rut they are in because they are use to it and comfortable. It doesn’t matter how much they are being used or abused, if they are use to the situation they will stay in it than do anything to get out. For example, I can walk into a Walmart store right now and tell someone that I can teach them how to make more than they are making now and all they have to do is change the situation they are in, how many people would do it? The truth is very few, the ones that have been there the longest wouldn’t even consider it.
They are so use to the abuse and being used they can’t walk away from it. They can’t break free to seek out what they honestly want in life. They are literally trapped with no ability to escape on their own.
Most people think it is their paycheck or money keeping them from changing their life. They give the excuse of family, illness, and many other things. The real truth is that they are scared to death to even try.
You can blame it on anything you want. It still comes down to you and the mental conditioning you have been put through in school, family, and society that has told you how to act, where to work, what to expect in life, and to not try to get any further. That mental conditioning is something you have to break free of otherwise you will never get free.
I just spent about four hours talking with a woman trapped because she is mentally conditioned. She is stuck and wants a better life, the only thing holding her back is herself. She made 50 excuses as to why she can’t walk away and change her life, after four hours she couldn’t justify any excuse for staying. In those four hours I made her step back and take a look at what is going on and her situation. I showed her what is happening to her and why it is. She now is now considering doing what she has been wanting to do for a while. The same thing she gave the me the excuse she would do it in a year. Her saying a year was just her way to see a light at the end of the tunnel to justify staying. Her one year would turn into two, then three, and then twenty years down the road she would be trying to figure out what happened and be so beaten down by the situation she never would have gotten out of the situation she did not want to be in any longer.
You have to do the same thing. You have to break out of that mental conditioning to get where you want to be. The longer you stay and the more excuses you give yourself the more beaten down you will get and then you will break and never get where you want to be.
