Live On Your Terms, Not Society's

Conformity breeds contempt.
It's easy to look around ourselves & desire what other people have or what they claim to aspire for....
But ultimately, it can limit our individual potential.
Just wanna share some thoughts on living on your terms, not society's.

    In our earthly reality, the dominance of the male archetype in the concept of God often leads to an imbalanced portrayal of power and beauty. It's as if our perception of divinity is distorted, mirroring the flaws and biases of our society. However, amidst this disparity, the clarity of the Goddess's name shines through, symbolizing a beacon of balance and harmony. Just as mathematics serves as the foundational framework upon which our understanding of reality is constructed, the concept of God aligns with this principle. God, in this context, provides the necessary substance or building blocks to complement the foundational structure of math. Math is the language of the universal truth and the blueprint upon which all existence is built. Mathematical truth can be used for good or bad and in between those two choices lies the principle of math. The principle of math remains there at a neutral position of neither good nor bad until our actions reflect upon it. We can use that truth to build something beautiful and lasting (Heaven) or something that is the opposite of that (Hell). Your personal truth is the meaning of life and not the foundation of life. Your existence can give meaning to life or take it away. The foundation of life is built on math, not God. The foundation of math is built on Truth. God is built on the same principle of math just as we are. The principle of math provides the necessary foundation of life and God provides the necessary substance also known as building blocks to build upon it. Without math, a good foundation those building blocks have no lasting foundation or no foundation at all. When something is built on a lie it's not meant to last, aka wages of sin is death. That is why when something is built on a bad foundation it's not meant to last, eventually, it will collapse and in most cases hurt like hell, to teach a painful lesson of not building or rebuilding your life on a lie, aka bad foundation. Do you know who you are? What do you see when you look in the mirror? What you see is called reflection. That means that you are a reflection. And what do you reflect? You reflect your consciousness, feelings, desires, actions and much more. And if you care about your appearance, reflection then you should care about your actions because those actions will reflect upon your true reflection. One day we will face the truth and we will have to live it. Please make sure that you can live with your actions because you will have to live with their reflection. Many of us when faced with the truth like true image would rather live a lie instead. Why? Well, because their true reflection is so ugly as a result of their ugly actions they would rather live a lie, false image than live with the consequences of their actions. Your image, reflection is like a home, a vessel for your mind, soul. What it means is that your reflection is built on the same principle as the house is. And we do not build houses on assumptions or beliefs we build them on mathematical truth. What can happen if a house or any other structure is built on a lie, bad foundation? Well, that house or that structure is not meant to last and it will collapse. And what can happen to those who live in that structure? For example, they can become homeless. You can become a ghost if you don't have a reflection aka vessel, body (home) for your mind, soul. Don't forget, that those who walk away from the truth are walking into hell. How long does anyone need to be in hell or hell-like situations? Well, that depends on each individual. Eventually, they will get tired of pain, suffering, building or rebuilding their lives on a bad foundation and eventually, they will seek the truth instead of walking away from it. How do you know if you have suffered enough? Well, do you like to suffer? If you don't like suffering then you shouldn't contribute to suffering or feed on the suffering in any way or form. That is why I became vegan. If someone tells us that they do not like suffering and yet they choose to feed on the suffering of animals or others, shows that they do like suffering otherwise they would not do it and if they do like suffering so much then they should not complain about it, instead they should embrace it with open arms ✝. If you would like to see the true reflection of life and those who are part of it before it’s unveiled, I suggest that you study the truth. The better your knowledge and understanding of truth is the clearer your vision will become.

    I've been finally enjoying my life now that I've learned to enjoy living life on my own terms, striving for my goals at my own pace. I used to worry about getting older and not reaching traditional societal milestones like my friends and family. I'm in my mid-30's, no longer in a relationship, don't have the white picket fence house, and work as a regular office worker. But I'm not in debt, don't deal with drama, and just pursue my hobbies -- fitness, art, video games, reading philosophy -- in my free time. I walk my own path at my own pace, but I, for the most part, have peace. Love your message, man. Keep it going.

    stopped wearing makeup and started caring for my natural hair and wearing it out, and now i just wear clothes i feel comfortable in instead of performing a version of femininity that wasn't really me. i love waking up early, making herbal tea and cycling deep into the forest to journal and pray / think. I just ditched my iphone 13, for a flip phone too. Beginning to fall in love with reading again. I stretched on my yoga mat in nature today, and the sun came out, and i realised how enriched and 'wealthy' i felt, despite not reaching all of the 'milestones' that society told me to reach as a 27 y.o woman. i feel so free, and grateful. beginning to see love around me, even in nature, and small moments in each day.

    School is *NOT* about learning the "subjects" that are taught. School is about learning to defer to authority...to be where you are told to be when you are told to be there. It's about seeking external approval - grades. Are you "worthy", do you "measure up"? That mindset is ingrained in a subtle but powerful way, but it certainly creates a world of sheep, just like those in power love.

    That's why out of everything in this video I agreed with, I respectfully disagree with his view on the education system. Although it is currently extremely flawed, I think that basic education is still a necessity and always will be, it's just that since the 1990s, and this is a long-time proven fact and it only gets more and more right as time passes, education is dying in this country because culture is dying. The mass illegal immigration is in fact going to be a detriment of this country, and it is one of the reasons it has significantly changed my life path. No politics, that is just a genuine fact. We have no official language, no border laws right now restricting the passage of illegals, we are effectively a lawless nation right now in the United States. We are not long fallen from the 1st world status

But the clothes are just as good. I bought a push bike from a recycle repair shop for $50 instead of $500 for a new one. It looks and goes just as good. People need to wake up!

    We're a tribalistic species, for both good and bad, and those who are outliers (myself included) can often feel like a fish out of water as the currents of life carry on with or without us. But, I will always prefer to be true to myself rather than follow the herd. The thing with conformity is that, sooner or later, you must sacrifice your own authenticity, and that is something that I will never do. I listen to the internal "voice" and let the chips fall where they may. The world can judge me as it will. I won't measure myself against those so eager to follow each other. Who is the leader? lol

    I can definitely relate to what you’re saying in this video. At first I thought something was wrong with me because everyone was "moving up" in life, getting married and all that and I was still stuck living like a teenager, but eventually I realized that I wasn’t stuck, I was just on my own path. I don’t want to get married and do all the things everyone else does, I just want to do what makes me happy and fulfilled. I want my life to be an adventure, not a monotonous experience where I end up turning into a worker drone that just lives to work and never enjoy myself. Even if that means I’ll be less desirable to women, even if it means I’ll have less money, and even if it means I won’t be seen as cool by society, the most important thing is that I’m doing me.

I put myself through college with no money from my parents. They didn’t have it to give. I then immediately married too young because I believed that was the “next move.” I did not pay off my student loans and other debt until I was 44. I had no clue how things worked, even after my education (which was NOT in business, economics or finance). The internet and mass media as we know it did not exist. I course-corrected throughout my life by trial & error. You are wise beyond your years. Please continue to mentor.

    I agree with everything you said except your comments on education. Education creates thinkers. Education is supposed to teach how to think, not what to think. Tests give the illusion that what you learned has to be remembered, and although institutions use them as a quantitative tool, they only push you to think harder, which strengthens the mind. Self education is best. Institutional education is the next best, and no education could be detrimental in our society- but in spiritual and mystical circles, the less education you have the better. Thank you for providing thought-provoking commentary.

    Thank you for this wisdom! It's really so simple, but because it is so simple, we tend to overlook it. The only thing that we really owe society is that we do not contribute to the chaos of the world. If, after careful consideration, we chose to live in a bamboo hut in the forest, or drive an old car (or not even own a car), or remain single, it's our life;. There is a saying, "Do as thou will, but harm no other." Sadly, most times, the world is telling us what to do for its own benefit.

    Welcome to the real world. You are in a lot of company. Life is not that much more different than when I was your age in 1989. Bosses were more in your face then than now and treated you with no better dignity. Rent was cheaper than now but the desire for new cars and clothes and stuff was the same as now. You are finding your way in life at 25. Now I am 60 and I am back to finding my way yet again and everything is different now. I wasn't homeless then but I am now. I have no permanent address and do not want one. I have saved my earned income since the scare of the Financial Crisis and banked all the pandemic $ I received. I have carefully invested that money so I derive a modest return every month. I still work odd skilled labor jobs any chance I get. I move up and down the east coast following the weather and job opportunities. My life is in stark contrast with that of my dad's. Nice union pension and SS and a homeowner. But I would never trade life with my dad. I love the freedom he never had until he retired. Every generation does it differently than prior ones. At the end of the day, we all have to make our own tracks in life.What are your tracks going to look like?

    Wow! What a refreshing thing to hear in the midst todays messed up social veiws. Too much debt, too many opinions, and when it comes down to it, no one really knows what the hell they're doing in life. People think wealth is the key to happiness. Dont get me wrong, money probably really takes the sting out of being poor 😂 but its also a trap. In my view, true happiness lies in getting lost in the creativity of what you love to do. And also doing good for others. Great content, nothing but love from the UK 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🙌

Debt really sucks and very hard to get rid off. Most Americans know as allot have debts equaling up to a trillion dollars. Short term fun for long term pain.

    Very eloquently said! I'm now in my early 70's and have ALWAYS done exactly what you're advocating, and I am so thankful and happy I didn't fall into the conformity trap. I have always been my own man. Of course, I've gotten a lot of flak from the conformists along the way, but I never let that slow me down, because I was always convinced that I was on the right path. Most people forget that they only live once. If you don't do it in this lifetime, you never will. Good luck with all your future endeavors! P.S. I wish I lived somewhere near you; I believe we'd be great friends.

    Either you think for yourself or you let society or others think for you. Many people trade their own thing for conforming which is something they can share with many others. A cost of doing your own thing is perhaps less people to share with....but you do have the most interesting person you know...yourself..

    My two cents is that the more you play the society game, the more insecurity you incur. As somebody with ADHD, this reality is amplified on a larger scale, so as a 21-year-old, I have five goals in life: number one, buying my mother a retirement home; number two, a childless relationship; and number three. Travel the world number four. Be KZreadr number five and give something positive to this world in one shape or another.

    Great message Daon. I can say as someone a bit older that selling out and taking the conformist path had served me well for a decade. I lived quite comfortably and saved a bit of money. But now the goal posts have all moved, job security is a thing of the past, and I'm confronted with the reality that my prime was largely wasted doing bs tasks for employers who never valued me at all or helped me reach my potential. Take risks when you are younger, find something that makes you jump out of bed in the middle of the night to write down ideas, and stick with it.

    I have social anxiety disorder and throughout my whole life I along with everyone else considered it normal, so I never cared to fix it or get help. It took me getting a job as a waiter and asking a girl out that I liked only for it to blow up in my face for me to finally understand that there was something wrong with my mind. If I had never involved other people and recognized how their social norms work I would’ve never figured it out. It was the most depressing thing I’ve been through but it needed to be done Not only did I realize a lot of stuff about myself, but also unintentionally learned how the world works in a way that I would’ve never figured out

    I’m 59yrs old, been with my girlfriend for 11yrs. We own our house outright with no debt to our names. It’s very freeing to live with no debt but it’s something that doesn’t come for free. We both worked hard to get to this point. My biggest advice to say a 20yr old today would be to not get trapped into monthly payments for things you don’t really need. For example you can find a car for $3000 and drive it to the ground without having crazy monthly payments. Yes there might be repairs needed but if you choose your car carefully it can go a long way. My last vehicle was a 2004 Chevy Venture minivan that I paid $2500 for. I had that van for 8yrs before it died. I might’ve put $2000 into repairs over that time but if you compare this to a $700 monthly payment you would be saving a lot of money. My next piece of advice would be to invest in a quality dividend stock. Reinvest the dividends and invest $500-$1000 per month into it. If you do this for the next 30yrs you will be set financially for life.
