This morning I was watching a video from someone in the Vedic Astrology world, someone I’ve been watching for quite a few years now. His new video that you will see below is a great reminder to get out of the old paradigm of; get a good job, get a good education and the world is your oyster. I understand this mentality because I tried to live it in my earlier years, and a lot of it was to make my family happy. I went to college for a bit, I was in the Marines, I was married, bought the house, had the great job, yada, yada, yada… but something was always wrong. I still wasn’t happy. There was something missing in my soul. There are many that would say that I just wasn’t trying hard enough, or I wasn’t pursuing the right opportunities, or I need to go get MORE of an education to keep up with the times. Again, that’s an old paradigm that no longer works in this day and age. As you will hear in the video (it’s a long one, but worth the listen) he talks about the 100’s of people that he consults who ask him why they can’t find the right job (Just Over Broke), and he tries to get them to take matters into their own hands instead of relying on the system.
When you decide to not rely on others and take matters into your own hands it’s very scary. Believe me… I’ve done it and I’m still doing it. You have to accept that anything that might go wrong is because of yourself and nobody else. I think this is the key… you see, most people out there want somebody else to blame, just in case they fail, so if they never take the bull by the horns themselves they will always be able to say, “Well, I could have done (insert excuse) but I couldn’t because (person or institution you are blaming) didn’t let me.”
It’s the easy way out.
But… lets say things do go right? Who do you have to thank? Exactly! Yourself. How would that feel? Don’t get me wrong, that doesn’t mean you become a pompous ass and not give thanks to those around you that did help contribute to your journey. It means that you were the catalyst, and you made it happen, not someone else.
So what do you say? Are you ready to take on your own life? It’s scary… but worth it.
