We've probably all heard about how an elephant is trained to be restrained by a chain that it could easily break. The elephant is conditioned from infancy to know that the chain binds it. The conditioning is so complete for so long that as the elephant grows, it never thinks to question or oppose that which keeps it bound.

It's the same with our beliefs. We are conditioned to believe in the personal and cultural constraints that keep us from becoming all that we can be.

Most, never break free of that. Creatives, are more likely to for creators live on the leading edge of different. And yet, creators also labor under the smog of mental programming that skews reality.

Freedom begins with the awareness to probe and question your indoctrinations. Be they religious, political, societal, financial or about your perception of your health and personal abilities, To break free is to first become aware that we are a product of our environment.
To create a new life means to push the boundaries that keep us from reaching the next level we aspire to.
