The Extraordinary Liberating Power Found in "Being Ordinary"
by Being "ordinary" sets us free! No longer held captive to any sense of obligation, duty, concern, consideration, and/or responsibility cast upon us by extenuating factors, situations, circumstances. We are ruthlessly honest to do as we "see fit" in every occurrence free of guilt, remorse and greed. Not to possess the need or desire to impress or be impressed, we are enthusiastic inspiring dangerous liberated souls.
The day has arrived in your life where you are tired of simply existing and going through the motions. You are ready, willing and able to really “LIVE.” It requires being daring enough to accept the pleasure of your own state of existence. Yes I said self-indulgent ‘ordinary’ pleasure. The KIND you like. You are not to seek validation or approval. Yu will do only those things that matter to you for no other reason except you want to. If it feels good, do it. If it feels real good, repeat it often. Cease trying to be reasonable, logical and most of all, acceptable. IF you will, but be your ‘natural and convenient’ self, you need not worry with these trivial matters. Only those who are living a false superficial bombastic life are concerned with how they appear. The greatest joy and freedom you will ever experience is in the hour you liberate yourself from the binding ‘set of stupid obligations’ you have imposed. Do Only what makes you happy. {Thrills you to the gills} Why on earth would you do anything else?
Speak whatever words come to you without filtering. Eliminate pretense. Dress without thought of the other. Style your hair how you feel THAT day, if you care to. Laugh loud, hard and often. Sing. Write songs. Write stories. Dance. Develop a play. Paint. Draw. Sculpt. Build something. Read. Join an unpopular cause. Choose the opposite of what you normally eat. Quit the job you despise. Do work that inspires you! Take your shoes off. Walk barefoot. Have plenty of erotically soul fulfilling deeply arousing pleasure loaded satisfying sex! Be “ORDINARY”!!! Embrace and enjoy the sensational expereince of being human; it’s what we’re here on Earth to do.

I did enjoy reading this article. I feel I am getting more and more ordinary as I get older. Certainly retirement has made a great differnce to me. This is a very interesting and well written article.

I had never thought of it that way but you are absolutely right. Who cares what we wear or what we say, nobody. We are free to paint our own picture using any colors we choose.

I would love to live life as I want, without a care in the world, don’t have to worry about anything or about what ppl think of me.
But i think moderation is important too.

In the days of our lives, we really are nothing but ordinary no matter how many efforts we put forth trying to be anything else. All of you realize this and appreciate the simplicity of genuine truth and beauty found therein. I do appreciate your comments because I am just like you. I love the simple, pure and true. It’s so much fun just being me. Just like it’s funny bone tickling happy to be nobody but you!
