We might not be consciously aware of it (because we’re usually evolving in minuscule ways), but we are not the exact same person as we were this time yesterday. This natural law is evolution in process.Īnd the same goes for us as people: we are changing each and every day. When species, ecosystems, and even business and trends don’t evolve, they fade away into oblivion. As human beings, we are forever changing, evolving, and transforming.Īnything that does not change, dies, as we can quite clearly see in the world around us. Here’s the thing, people are not static beings.

But with this new knowledge, you can pull off the blindfold and start consciously being proactive and self-sovereign with your life again. It’s not that you choose to be passive, it’s that you’re psychologically programmed and conditioned to be this way. If you have just realized that you’ve taken a passive approach to life, don’t worry.

When we’re passive, we’re resigned to accepting our “lot” in life, without realizing that it is actually in our hands to create a life of our own choosing. When we’re passive, we’re literally giving others the permission to make our decisions and dictate our existence on this earth. Passivity is, therefore, a major cause of feeling trapped and stuck in a life that seems empty. Is it really any wonder that so many of us struggle with feeling trapped? Unless we have the wisdom to see through the futile and unfulfilling pursuits of society from a young age, we end up following the herd and letting others dictate our lives. On one hand we’re encouraged to be “proactive” about our lives, but on the other hand, this “proactivity” is a disguised form of passivity which is all about following the crowd and doing what everyone else does. Of course, most people pay lip service to this “empowerment” ideal (such as our teachers and even parents), but only within the confines of doing socially acceptable things like going to university, chasing after money and status, and getting married and having kids. For example, being headstrong is generally a trait that is discouraged in society because it makes you less governable, meaning that others have less influence over you.Īs such, in childhood, many of us were taught to be submissive, compliant, and docile because these traits made us “good members” of a society that revolves around control and power.Īs young people, how many of us felt empowered and encouraged to take a proactive approach to our life, and to be and do whatever we desired, even if that went against “the norm”? Passivity is often a learned behavior that we’re taught in childhood by our parents, teachers, and societies.
