CULTURAL SLAVERY We always compare what other people have. Were always comparing ourselves to what other people have. Were constantly vying, either consciously or subconsciously to get what other people have also. This is what I mean by societal pressure. Whether it comes in the form of how youre dressing, or it comes in the form of what you purchase, or where you put your money, or what kind of career you want to pursue. A lot of time our parents, they gave us this societal pressure (which Im grateful that my parents are not like this). So whether their children are made for that or not, they say to their children, You better become a medical doctor!! Because if you dont, youre a failure at life. Everybody else around us that are successful, theyre all doctors. So thats the only thing in life to do. Im not saying that being a physician is a bad practice. But if your son/daughter becomes a doctor and they did not want to be, I would never want to be their patient I would not go to them. If the only reason they chose the profession is because their parents force them to, or because some sort of societal pressure. These are the pressures that exist around us. And it become so strong that a person can almost feels enslaved. Theyre not even free anymore which is really ironic that were living in a society that pride itself over being free. Youve got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent found it yet, keep looking, and dont settle. As with all matters of the heart, youll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Dont settle.
