Overcoming The Tragedy of Mother Society

Overcoming The Tragedy of Mother Society
Most of us are children of mother society. From childhood, you have been raised by this 'mother of rules'. Her agents can be found in religion, education, politics and the media. Since our parents are products of this same system; they bring us up in the same way. You are told what to believe without knowing why.
What then is mother society? Mother society is a belief system that inculcate in us certain mentality. It is an established way of doing things that has been around for ages. It tells us a particular way to do things. We are all products of this tragedy called mother society. Let's say you are a student. You might have accepted the fact that a job is the natural next step after school. This is what Mother Society has taught you. She has promised to take care of you after graduation by getting you a job. She has caused you to spend years in school learning how to serve other Masters for a wage until you are too old to continue working.
She has also taught you when and how to marry, how to behave in public, how to lead, how to make money, how to run your businesses, etc.

Effects of mother society in our lives

1. It restricts you to a certain level

Anytime you want to take certain giants steps, you are reminded by mother society that it is impossible to achieve. It stops you from daring. It restricts you to certain level of success.

2. Mental bondage

Mother society puts men of great destiny in perpetual bondage! So many people today are in Career bondage, Financial bondage, Academic bondage, Marital bondage etc as a result of Mother Society Mental stronghold! The environment you grew up has instill in you a particular mentality about life that has molded and shapen you and that has formed your attitudes and approach towards life. The greatest stronghold in life is mental bondage. When a man is under a spiritual bondage, with the knowledge of the truth which is God's Word; he can be free but when he is under mental captivity, it takes a personal strong conviction to set him free! The success of anyone depends on his / her mindset towards life.

3. It robs you of unlimited possibilities
The world we live in is full of so much possibilities. We are surrounded by great wealth and blessed with so much potentials and natural resources. Mother society tells you that you can only achieve little and that creates a limit in our lives which  stops us from exploring and tapping into the realm of supernatural abundance.

4. It puts a burden on you
When people are under intense pressure; they can only achieve little. You are told by Mother Society what is expected of you, and that if you don't meet those expectations,  certain things are bound to occur. This creates tension in you and your life begins to follow a particular pattern.

What then should I do? Embrace Mother Nature and disown Mother Society! Mother Nature is God's representative in our physical world and she has a lot to teach you.
Mother Society tells you there is shortage; Mother Nature tells you there's abundance! Mother Society says you should be Realistic and Practical; Mother Nature says you should be Idealistic and Practical! Mother Society says Money is King; Mother Nature says Creativity is King! Mother Society says Obey the rules; Mother Nature says Create your rules! Mother Society says There's poverty; Mother Nature says There's abundance! Mother society says Get a job and work hard; Mother Nature says Be financially secured and intelligence!

Therefore, If you want to be a master of your life, you must be wary of Society's expectations. Do what you can do to relate equitably with Mother Society's children, but do not live to please her every whim.
