‘How we act, how we relate to ourselves, to our bodies, to the people around us, to our work, creates the kind of world we live in, creates our very freedom or suffering.’- Joseph Goldstein & Jack Kornfield

That is why you should not worry about things that you cannot control. Life is too short for that. You have better things to do with your time, right?

If you care about other people, then focus on lifting people up. If you want to see a better world, a world where people are free to live together, to think together, to live in harmony, to do things that matter, to love, to celebrate with others, to embrace our differences, you have got to focus on social justice.

Because freedom is justice. Justice is life. If you are not free to live your own life on your own terms, you are not living; you are just there. Yes, just there.

If you care about your work, then focus on how you are going to get to your own next level. If you don’t like what you are doing, then find a way to create your own table for yourself. Because you are your own master. Focus on mastering yourself, then your work. Focus on becoming a better you. Focus on what really matter to you. Instead of wasting your time on what other people are doing.

When you focus on life, you get more life. When you focus on building a great environment, you attract other builders into your life. When you are positive, life rewards you with positive things. When you love other people, life rewards you with more love.

No matter what is going on in your life, you will go through it. If you are having a problem with your work, focus on making it better. If you are having issues with people, maybe they are not the right people for you. If you are not happy with your own life, then you have got to look within you.

Because you create your own life with your own thoughts. If you want a positive life, you must think positive thoughts. If you want to attract peaceful people into your life, you have got to think peaceful thoughts.

You don’t just think peaceful thoughts; you live with them. Why is that? Because tomorrow is waiting for you.

This Is True Freedom

Freedom is for all of us. If you say you are free, then you are free. If you say you are not free, then you are not free.

But you can set yourself free. You can free yourself from your past resentments. You can set yourself free from your past failed relationships. You can set yourself free from your past experiences with your boss. You can set yourself free from criticizing yourself. You can set yourself free from your poor performances.

You are the only one who can do it for you. Remember, when I say free, I am not talking about physical freedom. Because that is not freedom. The one that I am talking about is mental freedom.

Because freedom is about your mind, not just about your physical freedom. You can move around. You can do things you love to do. You can make money. You can buy the best things. All that you can have. They are just things, not freedom.

You are free when your mind is free, when your thoughts are clean.’

But if you are not mentally free, if you are not free to think your thoughts, the right thoughts, you are not free.

You are free when you are in charge of your life. You are free when you are doing what you love to do. You are free when you are in charge of your thoughts. You are free when you can eat what you love to eat.

You are free when you know when to walk away from a toxic relationship. You are free when you love yourself enough to stop negative influences from taking over your life. You are free when you don’t take yourself too seriously. You are free when you are living your life the way you want to live it.

You are free when you know what is good for you, when you know what is not good for you. You are free when you know when to say enough is enough. You are free when you are comfortable with yourself, no matter what is going on in your life.

You are free when you put other people first, when you treat other people as human beings, not as others. You are free when you take care of yourself. Above all, you are free when you permit yourself to do great things, when you have the courage to say, ‘I love who I am becoming.’

The question is, ‘Are you truly free?’
