Be the Artist of your Life


As a society we have been "brain washed" or have chosen to be "brain washed" by society, especially when it comes to the mindset of being an employee and a entrepreneur. As the upcoming generations come to pass we must make changes within ourselves so that they become the best leaders they can be, after all they will run our governments and become our new doctors and politicians.

"Tabula Rasa" (clean slate), as behaviorist theorist call it, believed that humans are shaped by their environment, tabula rasa meaning clean slate is that all humans are born "on a blank canvas" but society paints all over them. In other words humans are shaped to who they are because of their environment. Human thinking process, decisions and outcomes are shaped by everyday leaders such as parents, the media, friends, doctors, teachers and religious figures.

As we are born a clean slate then we should influence our children to become the best they can be. To become business owners not slaves of owners, the days of slavery are gone aren't they? At some extent they are not, we have what is now called "modern day corporate slavery", or as I like to call the hard working people, "corporate zombies". We are taught to go to school get good grades and get a good job, translation equals go to school, get good grades and get a good boss, if your lucky. Because we are shaped by our environment, we must become wise to which environment we want to surround ourselves with. Some people may argue that they don't have an option as to what environment they are born into. That is pretty valid, but taking some responsibility for your life would help in finding other environments that are more suitable for you. Most children in the United States grow up seeing different environments and can see which ones they wish to be in and which ones they live in, so how come most don't change their environment?, well a couple of reasons, we live in a chronically lazy society, we have great comfort zones, contentment without a vision, greed, obsession of different psychological matters, and the list goes on. These are not excuses but rather reasons to get your mindset on the right path to fulfillment in life, have your business while your working, so that one day you can be in the environment that you wished for when you were a kid.

I believe everyday that we wake up, we are blessed with a "tabula rasa" a clean slate, a new beginning, and you're the artist, you can decide how to draw out your life. I will tell you this, it takes will power, guts, and willingness to feel comfortably uncomfortable, until you reach what you want in life. And than and only than your life will be a master piece, accomplished by few and admired by many.
