Perhaps you've followed the societal formula for success and happiness. Get straight A's, be captain of the varsity team, go to a prestigious university, land a great job, earn six figures, drive an expensive car, get married, buy a house by the beach, have a family, work hard, retire then die.
Arguably this is what privilege looks like to some, and indoctrination to others. Entraining you into a system to over-work, over-produce and over-consume. ALL OF THE TIME. Adhering to this formula is the quickest way to achieve recognition and praise from society or your family and friends, but at whose expense? Who’s life are you living?
Are you really happy? Are you healthy? Are you in love? Have you designed your ideal lifestyle? Are you deeply inspired? Or are you in denial? And a slave to your mortgage payments and student loans? Are you stuck at your job? Or unhappy with your relationship? Are you afraid to make a change? Or take the huge giant leap into the unknown?
If you were to get really honest with yourself, what would your answers be? This can be a very daunting question. But it has never been more pressing to ‘stand in your Truth’ and answer these questions as honestly as you can, even if its uncomfortable. Not to be a Debby downer, but time is of the essence.
