Life is often presented to us as a series of predetermined steps, a path forged by those who came before us. We’re handed traditions, belief systems, and societal norms, all woven into the fabric of our existence. We are basically taught everything from how to walk to how to think. If one examines closely, we are living life on the basis of others directions like a puppet, those people who themselves are a puppet of somebody else. Its all woven into a web of puppets running the puppets. Everyone is living, rather surviving, a borrowed life.
But what if life was meant to be lived as an experiment? A grand experiment, where we are the curious explorers of our own existence – where nothing is fixed, and everything can be reimagined. Where there are no boundaries of how to’s and Do’s and Don’ts. Very few people are experimenting, living life as an experiment but are demotivated, outlasted by society just because their thinking is Different and not according to socially acceptable norms.
Breaking Free from the Mold
From the moment we are born, we are surrounded by labels, rules, and expectations. These structures, though comforting, often become cages for the soul. The idea of life as an experiment calls us to break free from these invisible constraints and look at the world as if seeing it for the first time. To question what has been passed down to us – not out of rebellion, but out of a deep yearning for authenticity.
What worked for those before us may not necessarily work for us. The traditions and beliefs that shaped their lives were based on their reality, their context. But we live in a different time, with different challenges, and most importantly, with a different soul journey.
What if the very traditions we cling to are the barriers to our evolution?
