The promises of THE AMERICAN DREAM (to have it all and enjoy it all, based on materialistic values program) has been holding us captive and threatening to take our power and flexibility absent- without our awareness, like a thief in the evening.

Consciously or unconsciously we make daily choices to either be a grasp of our personal ship or destiny, if you will, or be a slave to our personal circumstances and to other people*s expectations and belief systems that don*t serve our greatest great and objective. Following all it*s your life script – claim it and discover how your personal individual power can really transform your life to make it an adventure to be lived instead than a issue to be solved. Life turns into more of a struggle only when we are not accurate to our personal calling and we give our power absent.

Superficial/external values are indeed the ultimate slave grasp that demand nothing less than our complete interest, and sacrifice of our power and flexibility. In purchase to be really happy and fulfilled, one must feel totally free. Nevertheless, in a culture that worships external values and is driven by the promises of THE AMERICAN DREAM (to the point where we turn out to be slaves to our addictions), one can*t assist but wonder if we are really totally free in The united states, Land of the Totally free. Just when we thought that slavery ended with the Civil war, the rat race we are all caught up in, in purchase to *get there*, painfully reminds us that there are nonetheless numerous slaves amongst us who are disguised as successful people. But appears can be deceiving. Behind all the outward appearances of having it all and experiencing it all, they are held prisoners and victims of the promises of THE AMERICAN DREAM. And sadly enough, those who do achieve THE AMERICAN DREAM (after significant sacrifice) ultimately understand that when you get *there,* there is no *there* there. They ultimately discover that there is definitely more to life than achieving material good results.

Isn*t it time to reclaim your personal power and flexibility and declare your personal independence? It*s easy to do when you gain awareness and develop your personal spirituality. Keep in mind that awareness and the street to discovery and recovery run parallel. When you turn out to be conscious of your accurate nature, that is beyond the man-made, narrow definition, you*ll be astonished to discover actual flexibility, actual good results and actual joy that have been ignored simply because of restricted awareness, misconceptions and untrue belief systems perpetuated by THE AMERICAN DREAM, and reinforced by Hollywood and the media. If you want to reside with objective and meaning and want to experience the difference in between living consciously and unconsciously, reside by the motto: *He with the most joys lives,* instead than *He with the most toys, lives.*

Do not underestimate your power to alter yourself and even the globe – turn out to be somebody*s hero. All you have to do to break totally free is to resist the temptation to reside your life according to the interpretation of what someone else expects you to be, do or have. Listen to your heart and reside by your rules. Why shouldn*t you? Following all, it*s YOUR life and YOUR dream.
