"There is a war going on for your mind; if you are thinking, you are winning" -flobots
Have you ever stopped to think about that? Everyday everywhere you go, there is a batttle raging for control of your mind; "buy this" "eat here" "believe me" "don't believe him".
It's crazy how many people want to inhabit our minds with their ideas and beliefs.
Don't buy it.
Just because someone says something is true doesn't mean it is. You need to analyze it and find out for yourself. That's what the second part of the quote means; "if you are thinking, you are winning"
They ("they" refering to society) don't want you to think; they want you to just believe what they pump into your heads.
Prime example: school; in school, the teachers just expect you to believe whatever they tell you, and most of you do because you assume that since they are teachers, they must be correct.
But do you really believe that the universe is 50 billion years old? Why wouldn't you? Your science teacher said it was, so isn't it?
Research it yourself and you'll be surprised at what u find out...
Here's the point: don't believe everything you hear
83% of statistics are made up on the spot anyway...
Did u get that? Haha just a little humor to lighten things up.
But seriously, if u read that made up statistic and believed it, you have some serious fighting to do for your mind.
Challenge: research something someone or something tells you and decide for yourself what you believe.
You are who you want to be, don't let someone else tell you what that is
