Our Thoughts Can Hold Us Back \u2013 Don\u2019t Do Drugs
\nThe more I read and listen to successful people, the more I realise how much my thoughts have held me back.<\/p>\n
Think about it, when you grew up you were told things by many many different sources that you believe are true.<\/p>\n
Sources like your parents, the TV, Music, Friends all have an influence on who you are today.<\/p>\n
The problem that most people don\u2019t realise is that it is mostly the unconscious brain that is taking all this information in. So ideas and thoughts get lodged in your brain, sometimes for years just sitting there controlling your actions and your thought patterns. They are not your thoughts but those of other people or of society.<\/p>\n
Here is a few examples<\/p>\n
Damn immigrants taking all our jobs<\/p>\n
Money doesn\u2019t grow on trees you know<\/p>\n
We need to go to war to create peace and democracy<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t get into debt, because debt is bad<\/p>\n
I am not good enough to achieve xyz<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t do drugs<\/strong>, because drugs are bad<\/p>\n Get a good education and then get a good job<\/p>\n The list goes on and on, and nearly everything you have been told by society in one way or another is most likely the opposite of what the actual truth is.<\/p>\n The more I educate myself the more my reality shifts from the reality that society molded my mind into thinking. I have come to the point where if I hear people telling me to do something, I go and do the opposite because the opposite has served me well over the years and I have later found out the opposite of what most people think is actually the truth.<\/p>\n Lets take one example from the list above, lets take \u2018don\u2019t do drugs<\/em> because drug are bad\u2019<\/p>\n Well for a start the only people pushing this line are people who have never done drugs. That is like someone being a marriage counselor who has never been married \u2013 stupid right.<\/p>\n If you look at the facts about drugs, then they have only been illegal for the last 100 or so years, and it all started when pharmaceutical companies started patenting prescription drugs.<\/p>\n If you actually explore drugs, and real experiences of people who use drugs then there is many benefits. The main one is to get away from the mundane reality that is life. Whats interesting is you find many animals in the wild getting high off different sources so they can do the same, so we as humans aren\u2019t special in that we want to take drugs.<\/p>\n Secondly why is beer and tobacco OK but cannabis and MDMA and other drugs like cocaine bad. They all have their uses and if you look at cannabis and MDMA in particular they actually have a massive amount of positive uses \u2013 not just for recreation.<\/p>\n MDMA for example is the love drug for a reason, you forget all the negative things that spiral through your head and for a brief moment the world is beautiful. Cannabis has been shown to cure all sorts of diseases and ailments, we even have a cannabinoid system in our bodies in which the only thing that connects with it is what is in cannabis. The cannabinoid system is directly linked to the immune system, hence why it has lots of positive effects against diseases and what not.<\/p>\n The worst part about the whole drugs are bad stereotype, is people will say that and then go and get some prescription drugs from the doctor and pop them like there is no tomorrow They think these drugs are safe because they come from a doctor, which in actual fact most have severe side effects and most people don\u2019t actually need these drugs in the first place \u2013 they are just looking for a quick fix instead of looking at the actual real core problems in their life.<\/p>\n So here is to the enlightened ones who realise that not everything in this world is as it seems, and its only when you take a look closer and find the true facts do you start to see the elusive obvious that is right in front of our eyes but hidden by the brain washing of society.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
