BEBORDERLESS™



Why does everything have to have a universal label? Why does everything have to have a form? Why does everything have to have a mark? Why do we have to belong to someplace in order to feel secure? Why do we try to arrange everything? Why is it hard being yourself? Where did we lose the courage to be authentic? Why do we care what others think or say about us, so much that we are deprived of our own, uncensored self - expression? Why do we, as social beings tend to become slaves to trends, and therefore become unequivocally antisocial? Why do we put freedom in a box? Why is the free spirit forgotten? We do the things that supposedly we SHOULD do. We do things that are out of  character for us, just so we can call ourselves a “part of a group”.

Why is it hard to explain what BORDERLESS is? Why? Because everyone wants a form, a religion, a reason, an explanation, a short answer, a definition, a movement, a network, NGO… But here is what I have to say. It may be too general for some. At a first glance, someone may not understand what I’m talking about. Someone may not see the substance. Someone may find it too idealistic. But indisputably, it will stir your thoughts in a new direction.

BE(ing) BORDERLESS is essentially very simple, very to the core, and most importantly, true. All you have to do is believe in dreams, your goals, your ambitions, and ultimately – your own individuality. Then live your life true to yourself. Sometimes, the simplest things are the hardest ones to achieve. My friend says: “It’s not easy.” But who really cares?

Has anything grand and priceless ever come easy? Some of the most admired love stories, victories, successes – have they been easy? NO! Not for the people around me, who have had or have goals. Not in my case, the least! Reaching a goal is usually not easy. And as simple as this statement may sound, it’s completely truthful.

Does a fulfillment and a smile, born out of an achievement need to be left aside, just because it’s ‘hard’?

Should we pay more attention to how complex things are, or how much sweat and effort we have to put in, rather than focusing on the goal and the overall result?

The most dreadful thing is to do nothing and basically choose the path of least resistance. And living your life like that, you want to be happy…my friend, things don’t work that way.

You don’t have to be the best, but at least be honest. Be a unique and an important piece of a puzzle. By the end, you will see the BIG picture of a positive life. It won’t just “come to you” if you don’t even try!

If you think it’s easier to stand aside, while judging others, it’s not. Only the ones who try, the ones who make an effort, might make it. “Might” will, in due course turn into a “will”, which then becomes a reality. The ones who never try will always be tapping on the same spot, and because of their frustration with such life, they will sink deeper into cynicism and envy. In order to achieve something, you must at least try. That’s the bottom line.

Why do “larger than life” characters have to go through hard times and sufferings? Do we need to walk through a horrific experience in order to appreciate every single day of our life? Do we have to hit the bottom in order to get out of the darkness and start living?

And something else, that I’ve always found perplexing…

Prejudice. War. Judging. Exploitation. Injustice. Why? Why are there wars? Why judge someone who is not exactly like you? Why do we generalize, and tend to put people in certain groups, even before we get to know them? Why do people, who are stronger, have to take from the weaker? Why do we want to buy love, a smile, and satisfaction with money? Can we even do that? Why do we escape our problems with changing our consciousness? Why do we forget the meaning of pure and essential? Why is it so hard to do something that might help others and bring happiness to you, but at the same time not expecting anything in return? Open your mind and start LIVING your life!

‘…I think I labeled, marked, and formed enough for you. Now it will be easier to ‘belong’, to BEBORDERLESS™…’ – is that what you need to understand?

If you feel this way, and you want to do something with your life, I don’t need to tell you what that is. That’s not why I’m writing this. This is about a positive spirit. This is about an effort. An effort to make a change, to inspire ‘someone to be better’, ‘us to be better’, ‘them to be better’.

It’s about giving this spirit a ‘body’, a powerful one. And with a pure spirit and a strong ‘body’ we can achieve massive things!

I am a living example of it….and I’m still not done. The best is yet to come! BB™
