For most of us, the age at which we will finish school, what kind of career we should have, the salary we should receive, and even our year of marriage are determined by society. We get so lost in this cycle and close our minds so much that we fail to notice the crises and opportunities around us.

The human species cannot easily venture to make decisions, lead, or abandon the paths that the majority currently follows. Because our intuitions tell us to stay away from danger as much as possible. However, when there is already a reliable path, drawing a new one presents too many potential dangers that we have never encountered before. This creates worry in us, and this worry turns into anxiety in time. At the end of the day, we sit in front of Netflix with a possibly much better way at hand and wait for our excitement to pass.

Neither life nor our brain works that way. Our brains are designed to solve problems and imagine. On the other hand, we, slowly kill that huge machine over the years and instead of removing its borders we usually silence it.

It is not always possible for us to realize all the outputs of the machine, all our dreams. But how can we learn if we are so afraid to deviate from society’s path? This path should not draw borders for our borderless brain!
