– how you’re expected to behave and perform – what sort of freedom or<br />

lack thereof you can expect – what the future may hold.<br />

As such, much of what you think, say, and do is driven by factors and<br />

influences that you may not be conscious and aware of. It could in fact<br />

be said that:<br />

You are truly your own person only to the degree that you are able to<br />

consciously pick and choose which elements of the collective mind that<br />

have shaped you, that you wish to retain and which you would prefer to<br />

replace – and do replace.<br />

This is no small feat, particularly in an environment that applies pressure<br />

to adhere to cultural norms and not rock the boat! It also presupposes<br />

that you even understand and agree with this assessment – and have the<br />

desire to create your own standards and reality.<br />

However that shakes out, to the degree that you do not exercise your<br />

freedom to choose, through either acquiescence or simple lack of<br />

awareness, you do become subject to what may be termed The Law of<br />

Averages. What you accept as being just a part of life will become<br />

embedded as part of life. The one who accepts themselves as a statistic,<br />

most likely ends up a statistic, surely the case for most of us.
