I am done with this warped sense of freedom and success, where success is determined by how busy we are. We are in a space where there is so much noise, mindless chatter where nobody really listens and we pretend that we are listening and hearing, but comparisons and judgments are rife. But I am busy, we go to work every day and race around like crazy women, earn money and apparently that’s success.
If that’s what success looks like then I don’t want a bar of it.
Surely I am not alone? I am done, done trying to fit in with others, trying to conform to masses… whom dare I say are also doing the best to try and conform. How have we ended up here? With no real sense of who we are, we spend our time running around doing everything for everyone

and we don’t get a chance to stop and ask ourselves, am I happy? AM I living my best life? You see this infinite collective through out our lives that make you feel like you don’t belong. Circles that have no open links of acceptance, the feeling like you just never seem to fit in. Anywhere. The rebel within loves the fact that this is the way I live my life, but the reality is some days I long to fit in.
Its no coincidence that the very people who grew up feeling like they were freaks and didn’t belong to any circle are the very some freaks who are changing the world. Our vision is much bigger the problem, we use our words to heal, connect, embrace other people and their inner freak.
The Sunday night blues, because you just don’t want to go back to work on Monday, the dread and that feeling in the pit of your stomach that makes you want to vomit. Why? Is that what success looks like? There is a level choice where we get to ask ourselves what we really want, because if this is all there is then we're screwed.
Come away with me for a second, imagine what the world looks like when we love and embrace who we are, our uniqueness and all those quirky things that makes us awesome, where we are all responsible for our actions and we understand that our external world is a reflection of how we are feeling within, there are no limits or boundaries to constrict us. We have a sense of belonging because we know exactly who we are and where we’re going, instead of feeling like “Who am I to change the world? What makes me capable of doing such a thing?”
Once we remove all the stories that surround I AM all that remains is I AM and that is all you ever
need. It’s the freedom lifestyle that I am living, it’s not goal orientated where I am constantly trying to over achieve and be surrounded by external things that give me some sense of freedom. When I have a shower, I want to feel the warmth on my skin. When I cuddle my girls I want to feel it with every inch of my soul. When I am with my man I want to feel my entire body to feel all the love I have and have to give. I want to feel frigging alive, like crazy alive, like I am here and I am on a frigging mission and I am going to change the world. I am fucking Oprah. I am abundant in every way. Until the overwhelm, fear and self doubt creep into my existence, then I am frozen, paralysed and unable to think straight and find sense in anything I am doing. It gets us all, we all have those days and for a long time I thought it was a part of life and it couldn’t be avoided. Confusion is just the old butting up against the new and that’s OK, what emerges is beautiful. But what if there was a way that we could seamlessly integrate, shift, release and understand who we are, what’s really inside of us and let go of all feelings of doubt, insignificance and fear so we can rise above, embrace love and cherish our inner freak and get back to changing the world. I did it and now I really want to show you how you can too, its simple, clear and concise way that isn’t weird or freaky, but completely life changing and totally awesome. For the first time in my life I am so frigging happy, happy with who I am, where I am and where I am going. I feel alive and I have love in my heart. This process made me a better version of myself, a better Mother, a better partner, a business owner and just wholeheartedly I am feeling unstoppable. Choose freedom and fly that freak flag. come with me
An individual’s choices and experiences affect their sense of belonging whether that is through searching intently or forming an attachment through physical objects and their surroundings. Sometimes it is needed to stop searching in order to find a sense of belonging. The more that individual seeks out and looks for a sense of belonging the harder it may become to find what they are searching for. That individual becomes desperate and may settle for something less than they require. When this happens it will always leave them with a greater sense of feeling alienated and isolated as they start to question their sense of purpose and why you do not belong. This is shown through Peter Skrzynecki’s poem “In the Folk Museum” and
"To feel a sense of belonging, you need to accept yourself and be accepted by others."
In what ways does this text explore the development of belonging through connections to people, places, groups, communities or the larger world?
We all need to belong somewhere and feel comfort in our lives. We as human beings need to open our eyes and see we can all belong together and live in one society without dropping our culture but before this can happen we need to end racism and stereotyping. These are the two main factors that push people, more commonly native people, into the loss of belonging the loss of their culture and the loss of the core of their identity.
My philosophy of success, is me growing into the person I want to become and being comfortable with the choices I decide to make in life. Success is not something I can achieve overnight, it’s something I must plan for then proceed to working hard for it as well. Without hard work, there isn’t anything successful about the job I want to get done or the job I wish to get done. Doing anything without hard work and dedication, and expecting the best outcome is not success; it’s mediocrity. Being mediocre/ will only allow me or anyone else to have a ‘Victim’s Mindset.’
The Industrial Revolution is a major turning point in mankind's history. It is no more viewed as the drastic change that its name prescribes, for it was the consequence of an economic evolution that began in the sixteenth century. However, the eighteenth century does speak to an unequivocal change in innovation technology and the growth of economy. The acclaimed inventions–the spinning jenny, the steam engine, coke smelting, thus forth–deserve their eminence, for they mark the begin of a process that has conveyed the West, in any event, to the mass thriving of the twenty-first century. The motivation behind this article is to identify what happened in the eighteenth century, in Britain, and how the methodology of their invention has converted the world.
The Anthropocene marks a point in time where human activities were able to greatly alter the environment, some historians believe that it marked the point in time where the industrial revolution began (1700CE to 1900CE). The Industrial revolution essentially was mankind’s breakthrough into modernity, the rapid advancements in technology and the utilisation of fossil fuels gave man a seemingly infinite supply of energy that could be used to transform manual processes into automated ones which was a massive game changer for the manufacturing, communications and transportation industries.(1)
Success means to live a life in alignment with what brings us real joy. In my case, “success-joy” comes in many guises. At times, in being persistent with my current dreams, others, investing time and energy in what makes my life shine, and that is, without a doubt, when my life is at service of humanity and when I cultivate happy and healthy close relationships. I tend to define success as a state of being, a constant process of unfolding rather than a place to arrive. It is the journey of getting to know ourselves, in order to fully occupy every aspect of what we are; a forever changing aspiration, a state of being in which we realize that life’s greatest rewards spring from our capacity to relate to adversity in innovative ways. I have also discovered that real success shows up again when we debunk and deconstruct every single stereotype and assumption we have about ourselves. In this way, we feel capable to challenge what is commonly accepted as wisdom and then we have the opportunity to change and integrate our values with greater ones. There is an enormous joy when we feel free to play with the possible new scenarios that our imagination and creativity compelled us to try. A successful state of being is alert and grounded within us with the certainty, that the choices we embark on are in resonance with what we consider is the truth of what we are in that precise
In current times, success seems to determine everything about an individual. One of the main reasons people go to school is to grow up and become successful. Success is the reason anyone does anything. Whether it be a small or large-scale success does not matter. A person might make a sandwich to succeed in fighting off hunger, or a basketball team might take time to watch more film and spend time together as a team to succeed in winning a championship. Either way success motivates people. The question that goes with it is, was I successful? If one says yes, then they ask why? The answer almost always includes some amount of preparation. Because a success without prior preparation is uncommon. No matter what, we humans strive
Industrial revolution which is regarded as the starting point of the modern world, began in the late 18th century in Britain and it is a major turning point in the human history. Since then, an unprecedented transformation began to change our daily life in almost every aspect. However, most people lived in countryside and made their living by farming before that time, what made Britain so special and what are the major factors that made Britain to be the beginning place of the industrial revolution? On the other hand, N. F. R. Crafts (1977, p.431) said that, “It will be assumed that in the mid-eighteenth century France and England were both growing economies with significant amounts of small-scale manufacturing activity.” So why is it not first take place in France? In fact, the industrial revolution in Britain did not just happen in the 1760, it had been an ongoing process for many years before, and this was mainly because of earlier revolutions in the 17th and 18th centuries. Moreover, Britain had enjoyed political stability and economic prospering for a long period and this had sown their seeds for later success in the end of 19th century. Basically, the coming together of many factors in the late 18th century had created a unique environment to Britain for the first industrial revolution to take place.
One of our deepest needs as humans is to be valued. The need to be needed is often more powerful than the need to survive. Every one of us has a deep longing to write our signature on the world. As individuals, we are each equipped with unique gifts and talents to share with our family, our community, and our world. Nelson Mandela once said, "As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." When we open ourselves to become all that we were created to be, we allow those around us to be themselves, empowering them to be a unique individual and to use the talents they possess. It doesn't matter if we are brilliant, beautiful, or incredibly charismatic. We can make a difference by just being who we are. We simpl...
Life was drastically changed during the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was a period of time where machinery was used for manufacturing massive production of goods that began in England in the middle 1700s. This revolution was significant because machinery now changed the way nations produced and distributed goods; therefore, it increased the availability and affordability of goods for all people. To understand the Industrialization Revolution, it is necessary to take a closer look at the Pre-Industrialization. During the Pre-Industrialization, most people belonged to either high or low-class not middle class, and many were farmers who lived in the countryside. Also, goods were made by hand thus the products were not readily affordable or available. However, agricultural revolution, population growth, natural resources, factors of production,inventions and transportation all contributed to the growth of the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution resulted in positive and negative changes that paved the way for the working condition and wages, living condition and reform of social class.
A movement of industrialization transformed nations everywhere. Many countries experienced social and economic prosperity in this period known as the Industrial Revolution. The people of these countries also experienced change (Jacob, par. 1-5). Prior to the revolution, life for many was much different, allowing for many changes to occur; innovations reached several countries involved in this movement, and the lives of the citizens were largely impacted both positively and negatively.
What effects did the Industrial Revolution have on American? The Industrial Revoultion affected America socially, politcally, and financally . Throughout that time era there were many postive and negative effects from the revolution. Many people visualized it as a new opportunity and others critized the encroahment of the heavy industry onto both nature, and society. The Industrial Revolution was a big turning point in American history. Before the Industrial Revolution America was really slow with mass production. Almost everyone farmed, after the industrial revolution more people lived in cities and worked in factories than ever before. Cities population sky rocketed which caused for cities to be more crowded, which prompted the rise of better transportation, land speculation, real estate boom. The standard of living rose tremendasly. It changed the whole outlook for families who had too move to the city so that they could work. It was one of the main contributions to the growth of cities. Early Industries were not too fond of their workers either so this also led to the rise of labor unions til this day they still exist. The Industrial Revolution was all about making things easier and faster in mass produce.
To begin with, In the XVIII century, Western Europe was under feudalism stage.
