“Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions."
Imagine the life you want to live, imagine the idea you want to conceive, imagine the world you want to create, imagine the friend you want to have, imagine the partner you want to be, imagine the product you want to make, imagine the luxury you want to experience, imagine the person you want to be, imagine every single detail of your life to the finest detail as much as you can. Add some love and sprinkle it with belief without which there is no binder to hold your dream to conscious. Mind is the most powerful source of creation, anything that exists in this world found its place only through imagination. What the mind can see clearly, the mind can create.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."
When you pursue an idea or ideology in life that just leaves you feeling unfit to fit-in it just means you are growing beyond the realms of common spirits. It will feel like you are unsupported and begin to face opposition from every side, remember it is because you refuse to adapt to mediocrity. People understand that which they are capable of seeing. Ignore their incompetency. Hardwork is not work that is hard to do but hard to break, it no longer means you have to clock in hours together or put in so much of physical effort.
“Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.”
Do not be an open book, yes, you heard me right. DO NOT BE AN OPEN BOOK. Every single day live a life that excites and provokes a curious mind. Let the people around you wonder what 'you' have to give back to the society. What new way you have up your sleeves to live a happy and joyous life. Let the world learn through your example. Let not your words state that which your actions can scream. Mystery is the essence of life and it provokes curiosity leading to imagination which in turn results in creation. The secret to creation is how well you hide your source of creativity.
“Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions."
When you have intuitive ideas remember it is the 'Higher Intelligence's' way of teasing you to pursue. If someone tells you how bad of an idea it is to pursue, remember it is their limitations that they are trying to impose on you. Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down by the society and your parents. If you think your idea is silly, remember there is a millionaire walking this world and all they did was to create the 'Pool Noodle' and 'Car Antenna Topper'.
“Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But I do not doubt that the lion belongs to it even though he cannot at once reveal himself because of his enormous size."
Unchain yourself from the need to belong to any given community. Once you strive to belong to, you lock yourself to a conditioned mind that strives to impress the community/parents/friends/partner that it want to belongs to. I do not mean that you should live a life of loner. You need to work for the society, for your life, for your fellow beings but in your own way with your little magic. Let go of the norms and guidelines. Have a team, a strong one that thinks differently but positively. Create the environment that would nurture growth and yield results. Once you release yourself of that intention a new zone of life opens up. Your life is no longer limited to the perceptions of the world.
“My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude… ”
The aim of education is to empower you to create the life the world deserves. Do not let that which was taught to you to limit you. More power to you to live your life the Einstein way.
