Human beings are lights of consciousness that are capable of creating a joyful and fulfilling life. Considering this, and when you take a look at the world we live in, you would think we would choose to do some different things. Things that made us happier. Why don’t we?

One reason is because the minds of humans are conditioned from childhood with events, images and people demonstrating a way of life common to members of our tribe. We learn how to behave, what is expected of us and what a ‘normal’ life is. Many of our ideas about life are based on what other people tell us. We seldom ask the big questions and hardly ever consider another way to be possible. We live within a self-imposed box, confining our unlimited spirits to mundane routine and competition.

But if we are fortunate we will listen to our feelings that are telling us that life is more than living in a box. If we pay attention to those feelings more, and let them grow, they will help us recreate our life based on our deepest desires rather than on what society expects from us. It’s true that we are conditioned by a social system and this makes it very hard to recognize that life could be more, but it is also true that we are responsible for our own happiness. To be joyful is a choice, therefore we should choose to do things that make us happy. As simple as that is it is the truth, there is a better way.
