It is extremely important to be in charge of yourself.....

No one can can give you permission to do anything, nor can they take permission away. You are the sole authority of you.

In order to follow the law, for example, you have to choose to follow the law. Of course there are reasons to do that in general, but my point is, you are making the choice to do it. The government is not exercising authority over you. You are giving them authority for a reason. When major corporations have their manager cronies break the law for the benefit of the company, the manager has to choose to do it. They think they have permission from some authority to do it. That company doesn't have the authority to give its underlings permission to break the law. Institutions use human psychology to get humans to give up their own personal authority. An institution is a psychological concept. It does not exist in reality. It just creates some illusion of authority in your mind to make you obedient. From this perspective, imagine tolerating disrespect from a boss just because a company uses them for some admin function. People actually think they have to be exposed to that because they have given up authority.


You are responsible for your actions and the consequences of them. Not your circumstances, not the people around, not peer pressure, customs or culture, not the law, not media propaganda. Only you. As you walk this Earth there is no authority above or beside you. It is your experience. Take control of it. You are so much more powerful than you could ever imagine. Be the ruthless CEO of your life and live on purpose.

two minutes in society will make it clear to any conscious observer personal authority is absolutely not understood and practiced.

Not everyone has a cushy VA paycheck. Or is a CEO 1k a day like me. Many people are stuck in that demonic corporate loop system. Ppl start to let things slide. Then become numb to them. And before u know it, they aren’t standing up for themselves anymore
