2015 is a Year of Celebration for me. It is my 25 anniversary of coming to Canada. I remember how much I had treasured every thought about this country and this continent as whole, the symbol (at that time) of freedom and democracy around the world.

It is only a quarter of a century later, when I am noticing everything turning upside down. We are more and more unhappy about our governments, economies and relationships with other countries. I wonder if we, ordinary people, on a massive scale, will ever be happy again.

I think many of us have accepted, that our freedom has been taken away from us. That we are slaves and/or prisoners of some power above us. That someone steals our thoughts, dreams and desires. Really?

How do we then exercise our freedom? Some of us, those who are braver then the average, use different types of medias to pass the messages, to share their (often controversial) worldviews. Well - at least they are trying. Most of us though are focused entirely on bringing in a bigger income, stay in peace, do not stand out, be invisible etc.

I remember when I was living in my previous country, we did believe that the only thing one cannot be deprived of is your mind, your thoughts and your dreams. Are we aware of that here and now? I know that some of you will say that it is not true anymore, since nowadays with the fast growing technology “they” can erase your mind. So what? But at least we will have some part of our lives beautiful and colourful. For those afraid, well – you don’t need to be deprived of anything, you do that perfectly by yourself. You ARE depriving yourself of everything.

Tomorrow is created today. We will harvest tomorrow on what and how we think today. Let’s remember that we are born free and should be free. Let’s use our minds and emotions to create tomorrow the way we want. Let’s not allow ourselves to grow in fear and limitations; they may, actually, exist only in our minds!

I believe in our creation and pro-creation ability. That we can and will turn everything over to the way it should be and our reality will be amazing. However – since our reality is a resultant factor of our common thinking, make the effort to be brave!
