To be Ourselves is the Only Way to find Freedom

“When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free.” Charles Evan Hughes
Some of us as we live from day to day are different from the rest of the population. We may stand out from the crowd for we are not conforming to society’s standards. By living by our natural instincts, we were born with and refusing to be like everyone else. Not because we want to be different from the crowd but just wanting to be ourselves despite the pressures of living in society from our peers that force us as a free people to be what we are not.
Yes just to be ourselves can be hard to do in the peer pressures that society has established for its citizens to live by. To be different in a society that demands conformity in its living arrangement.
There would be less psychological trauma in our lives if people would just be themselves. Most of these actors living in a world of their own and revealing to the world the characters they truly are not.
The only way to be happy in life is to be the soul God created and wants us to be. Not the phony we want the world to see.
By being ourselves, living, and dealing with our own dreams and desires to be what we are. Not to be what the establishment wants us to be but to be ourselves.
To dare to dream beyond the realm of reality and establish our goals for our loved ones and ourselves, the dreams we are reaching for today are the dreams of our tomorrow.
Therefore, let us set forth on our journey here on planet earth to reach for the stars that call on us today. To be ourselves is the only way we can break away from the shackles that bind us down as we live from day to day.
