The herd mentality

You look out over a pasture and see a couple hundred cows eating grass in the partially green field, lying around in the mud.  
Then you see the farmer go out on horse or tractor and start to bring them in from the fields.  Woo hoo, it's feeding time!  The cows get fed the oats that with make the cows produce more milk than normal, then get milked for all their worth. 
Now they get to lye in their beds a fresh hay and wait for the sun to rise. 


So what does this have in common with you?
  You get up in the morning, eat, go to work for 8-10 hrs and get milked for all your worth.  
You go home eat, and turn on that brain sucking device for a few hours and get milked for all your worth in the form of commercials.  
You go to bed.  

The next morning, it's like groundhog day all over again!!
What do you have in common with the herd?  No, I'm not calling you cows, but a lot of us, subconsciously, have a herd mentality.  We could probably go through the motions of our day with out thinking to much.    

So whats the difference.....We are human and we have a choice to follow or lead.  We have a brain the can think like a millionaire or just not think at all.  

Yes, it is easier to follow. It is a lot less work, but it is less fulfilling of a life. 


What is more important?  Live a happy meaningful life that is exciting or just living?  It is up to you to decide.
