The Soul Of A Journey Is Liberty

Do you really have the freedom to do whatever you want? Do you have the freedom to pursue your dreams? Do you have the freedom to live your own life? Because a real life starts with liberty. If you are not free, you can’t pursue your life. No liberty, no life. Liberty is life.

We want freedom. We want liberty. But are we ready to take responsibility for our freedom? Freedom means responsibility. Before we ask for freedom, ask yourself, “Can I handle my freedom?” If you can handle your freedom, you can pursue your dreams. If you can’t handle your freedom, you can’t pursue your dreams.

According to William Hazlitt, “The soul of a journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases.” You can pursue your life with passion only if you have the perfect liberty to be yourself, to do your things, to live your life, and to think for yourself. If you don’t have that- your perfect liberty, it will be difficult for you to make your dreams come true. Dreams need liberty.

If you want your dreams to come true, take full responsibility for your liberty. Without liberty, dreams die. Do you want your dreams to die?

The Freedom That Is Within You

“You are not your past; you are equally free to change if you accept the freedom that is within you.”– David Audsburger

We are not really free if we don’t separate ourselves from the past. If we want to separate ourselves from our past, we must first accept to change ourselves from the inside out. Real change happens on the inside, not on the outside.

The freedom that is happening inside us is the real freedom that we need. The freedom within us is the freedom that can transform our lives, if we accept it.

We don’t need physical freedom. We need psychological freedom. If you are free psychologically, physical freedom will take care of itself. We need to free ourselves psychologically. It is better than physical freedom.

How can we do that? We can do it by not living in the past, by not holding grudges, by not blaming anyone for our mistakes, by not beating ourselves up when we make mistakes, by not talking ourselves down, by not hating anyone, by thinking positive thoughts, by forgiving anyone who hurt us, by forgiving ourselves, by accepting ourselves, by loving ourselves, by holding a positive picture of ourselves in our minds.

You were created to be free, not to live in fear. You are the only one who can free yourself. If you free yourself, the people around you will be free. If you free yourself, your career will be free. If you free yourself, your growth and development will be free. If you free yourself, your relationships with yourself and with other people will be free. Because you cannot live a better life if you are not free. If you want to live well, free yourself.

You can free yourself from:

Negative people, connect yourself with positive people.

Your ‘fake self,‘ connect yourself with your ‘real self.’

Fear, connect yourself with freedom

Unhappiness, connect yourself with happiness

Hate, connect yourself with love.

Procrastination, connect with action/productivity

Negative thoughts, connect yourself with positive thoughts

Poverty, connect yourself with success

Negative mindset, connect yourself with a positive mindset

Your past, connect yourself with your present.

Now, are you ready to free yourself?
