You Are Free When…

As Maya Angelou once said, “You are only free when you realize you belong no place- you belong every place- no place at all.”

Freedom is not just about physical freedom. Freedom is ALL about mental freedom.

You are free when you are mentally free. You are free when you have the space to live your own life, when you have the room to expand, to grow, to become who you were created to be, to just be you. That is freedom.

“Freedom is the ability to set your schedule, to decide on the work you do, to make decisions.”– Seth Godin

Freedon is not about moving around aimlessly, not thinking about anything. Freedom is responsibility. When you are free, you are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your thoughts. You are responsible for your actions.

And to be really free, you must focus on your mental freedom, not only on your physical freedom. As I said before, you are free when you are mentally free.

“Freedom: it comes when you are mentally free not physically.”

Are you mentally free?

How To Find Yourself Again

We are here to face our hurdles, not to run away from them. In life, there are many hurdles, there are many problems. You are not going anywhere if you do not comfront them. You are not going anywhere if you do not have the courage to face them. If you want them to go away, you must do something about them.

“A person who’s happy will make others happy.”- Anne Frank

Whatever you are going through in your life, remember, nothing is going to be here forever. Plants are not going to be here forever. Human beings are not going to be here forever. Animals are not going to be here forever. Nothing.

Nothing is going to last forever, not even your problems, not even your fears, not even your doubts, not even your mistakes, not even your failures. So whatever you are going through in your life, it will come to pass. It is not going to be here forever.

“A person who has courage and faith will never die in misery.”- Anne Frank

Be patient with yourself. Instead of comparing yourself to others, why not focus on what is going well for you. If you look within, you will find yourself again.

There is always something left to celebrate, to appreciate, to love, and to embrace. Remember that you live within you. So if you want to find yourself again, you must look within you. According to Anne Frank, “I’ve found that there is always some beauty left- in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you. Look at these things, then you find yourself again, and God, and then you regain your balance. A person who’s happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery.” If you have courage, you will live. You will never die in misery.
