Imagine yourself living in a house from which you cannot get out. And you cannot get out because you don’t realize that you are living in it. What is such imaginary house? It is all the “molds” of all your convictions and pre-conceived ideas that lead you along the path of your daily life. You might not realize it, but the freedom you believe you have might not be real because it may be determined and guided by others. Who are these “others”? Anything and anyone that surrounds you: environment, society, the media, opinions, all you are daily compelled to see and hear – (either you want it or not). All these things contribute to shape your mind, to direct your thoughts on a certain path, to convince you to believe this or that. Try to find out what are the ‘molds’ you are trapped in. Try to see if there are specific ideas that you would never change, habits you would never give up, convictions that you believe to be truly yours. If you are totally honest with yourself, you will realize which ones are 'originals' and which ones are 'molds'.
