Yesterday, I brought my two sons (5 and 1 yr. old) to the outdoor playground.
There are 7 other kids in there so they had fun.
But the best part for them is when I allowed them to play in the dirt.
They dug holes, threw some rocks, and even crawled in the dirt.
You can’t measure the joy and freedom that they had.
While watching them play I realized that most adults can’t have such child-like freedom anymore.
They wanna do something else…explore…experiment but the world is telling them…
”That’s a no no! You can’t do that!”
There are pressures from friends, family, collegues, church, etc.
That’s why they settle in doing things what the world is expecting them to do.
Ignoring what’s in their heart and keeping their “true self” in a box.
A lot of employees are in this dilemma.
They stick to the job that they hate that’s because people are expecting them to have a 9 to 5 job.
Think about this for a second…
Isn’t like modern-day slavery?
Let me know your thoughts below.
you are right, that’s why so many people are not progressing in the Philippines because we are afraid to step out from our belief influenced by our family, friends and so fort. we were trained to have a limited vision like what my folks would always say get a degree and find a decent job and if they see us having job even the salary is very low they feel satisfied and never encouraged us to go further and aim bigger.
You got it right Carie. And unless they’ll be willing to take some chances, most people won’t experience true freedom in money and in life.
