Domestication and the Dream of the Planet

Have you ever wondered where your dreams come from? Are they your own desire? Or are they influenced by the wants of someone else?Since childhood, you were born into a world where all the rules have been set for you. You were conditioned to behave and think in a certain way. You may feel like you are your own person, but if you look deeply, you are just the result of your social norms.Let’s take the example of Sam. Before Sam was born, his parents have been living in a particular style. They have prepared everything for him, even the way he must think.

When Sam is born he finds his family, his neighborhood, his school, and everything around him already standing firm. These are strong institutions that he can't fight, and so he grows up to think just like his mother and his school teacher.Even if Sam wants to rebel, society will win in the end. Social norms have been around for a very long time, even before Sam existed, so he can't win against them.Think of Sam’s mind like a book that has thousands of rules and laws. These laws are the ones responsible for his every move. They dictate everything, even the way he judges right from wrong.

But how was this book of laws created in the first place? When Sam was young, his mother used to reward him whenever he did something right, and she used to punish him when he did something wrong. That's how it all started.But the question is: good or bad according to whom? Sam's mother was judging everything according to the way her mother taught her, and the list goes on.

We keep living in the same circle following the same set of rules as the society before us.We don't have beliefs of our own, and we can't have dreams of our own because we are ruled by society. Whether we like it or not, we live and follow what society dictates.So what is the solution? The only way to live a life that is truly our own is to break free from the laws that have been engraved into our brains. We need to start forming new agreements with ourselves.When you make agreements with yourself, you are creating your own personality. In order to be who you want to be and to have dreams that are totally and uniquely your own, you need to talk to yourself.

The First Agreement: Be Impeccable With Your Word

Do you remember a time when you were young and happy, you told your mother a joke, and her response was “Shut up! You are not funny.”? Ever since that time, you became uncomfortable telling jokes to anyone because you made an agreement with yourself that day that you are not a funny person.Our words are very powerful. Whenever we judge ourselves or judge someone else, we are creating a powerful decision. If you tell someone that he or she is stupid, that person may believe that he or she is really stupid unless another person comes along and changes this belief.You have to be careful with your own words. Don't say the things that will hurt you or hurt someone else, instead use positive words and try to create positive energy within you and around you.

Let's take the example of a mother coming home tired. Imagine, she had a long day at work and all she wants to do is to take some rest. The problem is that she has a young daughter who is happy and energetic that day.The two come home and they get inside the house. While the mother is looking forward to reaching the sofa and lying down to relax, but her daughter is faster and reaches the sofa first. Instead of sitting down, she begins jumping up and down on the sofa because she is excited and happy. This is the nature of children, to sing at the top of their lungs when they are happy. At first, the mother is patient, and she ignores her daughter, but the girl follows her mother around the house, continuing to sing loudly.At last, the mother loses her patience and screams at her daughter that she has a terrible voice, and she asks her to shut up and to never sing again.

Although the voice of the daughter was very beautiful, she decided to stop singing. In that moment, the child made an agreement with herself that her voice was ugly, and no one should hear her sing.And so, the daughter stopped singing and even avoided speaking because she believed that her voice was ugly. She grew up to be shy and uncomfortable around people.Without realizing the effect of her words, the mother created a complex for her child. She didn't know that her words were powerful.The mother was just tired and angry, but the daughter was young and fragile.We may believe that we can say whatever we want, but our words have power: they can hurt or help others to be better versions of themselves.Stop saying negative comments and do not gossip. Instead, encourage other people with your words, use compliments because they can help someone feel hopeful and believe good things about themselves. Take responsibility for your words, and use them for good.

The Second Agreement: Don’t Take Anything Personally

In the previous chapter, we discussed the importance of words and how powerful they can be. A comment that you are not good enough can affect you for life. However, you need to break free and learn not to take anything personally.Remember that the words that a person says are just his own opinions; they are not necessarily the truth. They are the manifestation of the thoughts and agreements that they have made with himself. He can't hurt unless you allow him to.If you take everything you hear personally, you will be living in sadness your entire life. People look at you differently when they are happy and when they are sad, so don't allow them to ruin your life just because they are feeling down.

For example, if your boss is happy today, he will tell you that you are the most productive employee the company has ever had. And when he is not in a good mood, he will tell you that you are the worst employee.If you let his words influence you, you will be miserable when he is mad, and you will only do your best when your boss is happy. The same example applies to everything.When you take things personally, you are living in the eyes of other people. Instead of living for yourself, you are depending on the words of others.

You will be hurt if someone says mean things to you, and you will be destroyed when they lie to you. Instead, you need to be confident with yourself.You should not get angry or sad, but remember that people only lie because they are afraid that you may judge them. And they lie because they lie even to themselves, so why get hurt?You need to free yourself from the laws of society and start creating your own. First, this book taught you that you need to be accountable for your words. Now, it is asking you to love yourself more.Don't let people hurt you just because they can, otherwise they will never stop. Don't be a victim; be a free soul that doesn't care for anyone's opinion. Do this not because people don't matter to you, but because they are judging you based on their belief system, not yours.So starting today, make an agreement with yourself:don’t take anything personally. Comments from people are just opinions, they are not laws.
