The Good Rebellion

Part 1

The quest
       

Deep deep deep, I like
Shallow shallow, I dislike
Open minded people, on point 
Rigid paradigms, very faulty
I have grown weary of the circle 
A circumference of meaningless repetitions
As it was in the beginning so shall it ever be
Says who? Why?

Haven’t you heard?
Nothing means anything except the meaning you attach to it
But until your mind receives revelation the real definition of meaning doesn’t exist

Doesn’t anyone bother to ask why?
Isn’t that the reason we have brains?
But no, we don’t ask
We would rather not
So we keep up the monotonous circle
With same results in view
Same results that have kept us stunted
Same results that have deprived us of so much
Yet we stick to the status quo
For fear of being tagged ‘rebel’ 
For fear of making mistakes
When already we live in a pool of them

Meaning cannot be inherited
We must find meaning for ourselves
But until our minds receive revelation, the real definition of meaning doesn’t exist

The day we summon up the courage to challenge this pattern 
Is the day we start to live
It’s the day we start to learn 
It’s the day we start to understand and to grow deep
Grow firm because then, we would have real answers
Not carved solely from someone else’ experience
But also from our own encounters and personal revelations
The ones we experience and grasp 
For what is revealed to us remains ours

Anthony Robins said
"Nothing in life has any meaning except the meaning you give to it"
But until your mind receives revelation the real definition of meaning doesn’t exist

We must attach meaning 
So we can go passed the shallow  
And dig deep for ourselves
Test all that we have received 
Seperate that which is false from that which is true
Discard what’s false and stand firmer in the truth  
Then with open eyes and clear mind
Bring meaning to this circumference of life
It shouldn’t be just a circumference after all.  
Rather, one full of the meaning we discovered ourselves
The meaning you discover is that you are willing to stand by 
That you are willing to stand by must be your own revelation
For Nothing means anything thing except you attach to it a meaning by revelation
Grab the meaning out of life!
