We are born free but we choose to walk around in chains.

People are born free because they have tremendous power over their reality. But when you look at the way most people live their lives, it's as if they are slaves. They have all these imaginary lines that they have drawn for themselves.

Things like who they can and cannot be, what they are and what they're not, where they can go and what's off-limits.

It doesn't matter whether you accept that or not. It doesn't matter whether you are aware of this or not. It's still the reality.

Most of us don't claim this power.

We live our lives based on obligation.

That's right. We try to be the kind of people our parents expect us to be.

We try to live our lives based on other people's expectations.

Maybe it's part of our culture. Perhaps it's part of our little group.

Whatever the case may be, unless we choose to open our eyes, we do things the same way as the people we hang out with.

You can choose to do something else.
