The Trap of Modern Day Life

For anyone who is feeling trapped or stuck in the 'rat race' of modern day life, this video is for you.

"Life. It’s an incredible thing. Yet it’s only short. So it is our duty to make the most of it.

You see, each and every person has something to give to this world, something that no one else can give, something makes each of us unique. The problem is that so many of us get so trapped in the world..

Trapped by our own limiting beliefs, Trapped by what others think of us, trapped by what society dictates we are capable of.

Trapped by what is 'expected of us', what is considered 'normal'. Get a job, play it safe, work every day, take occasional holidays repeat. And it doesn't matter whether you enjoy your job or not because "that is just life".

But this is isn't life. Life is something that is meant to be lived. It is meant to involve taking risks, trying new things, getting outside our comfort zone, facing setbacks and failures, learning, growing and most importantly helping others and making a difference.

But most people choose to just settle and play it safe. It is said that the average person dies at 25 and is buried at 75.

You see most of us know deep down that we could be doing something else with our life, every person on the planet has dreams and ideas they want to share. But most never choose to follow them because of their own limiting beliefs and societies constraints.

But just imagine for a moment if someone like Einstein, Gandhi or Martin Luther King had decided to just accept what was considered 'fact' and 'normal' at the time and decided to accept things for the way they were.

Through all of history the greatest ideas, the greatest advancements, the greatest changes all of these things came about because people decided to take risks, to go against what society dictated was normal and to follow their dreams. And the world is now a better place because of it.

You see none of us can control the actions of others, the tragic events, the circumstances we are given, or the unforeseen failures or setbacks.

But what we can control is our self. Our choices, our attitude, our behaviors and ultimately our destiny. And by choosing to change and better ourselves we can inspire others to do the same.

This means taking care of our health, standing up for what is right, having the courage to follow our dreams, taking risks, failing often and never giving up. It means helping others, contributing to society and making a difference. It means working to improve ourselves every single day.
It means to Learn, Grow and Inspire."
