“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?

Time Is Flying By

“A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.”– Charles Darwin

Time is life. If you love your life, you will love your time. You will know how to manage your time. YOU will not waste your time.

Time is flying by. The question is, what are you busy doing?

Are you busy growing yourself? Are you busy growing other people? Are you busy dwelling on the past? Are busy living in the future? What are you busy doing?

Time is important. Manage it well. You were created to manage your time. Don’t let your time manage you. Know what is important to you. Know what is not important to you. That is time management.

Stop making excuses. Making excuses will not lead you to your dreams. It prevents you from achieving your dreams. Don’t just go through life. Grow through life. Do not settle for less. Resent poverty. Don’t accept things that will move you away from your goals.

You are here to grow, not to waste your time. You are here to multiply, not to decline. Don’t waste your time. Take bold steps toward your dreams. If you don’t take it, no one will take it for you. Take it.

Spend your precious time with your loved ones. They love you. Be with them. Don’t spend your time with people who are putting you down. Spend your time with people who value you, who loved you, who are praying for you to succeed, who are ready to lift you up when you are down.

Your time on earth is limited, whether you want to hear it or not. You don’t have hundred years to get things done. You don’t have eternity to change your life. You don’t have eternity to forgive those who have wronged you. Spend your time wisely.

Spend time with yourself. We don’t do this anymore. We are there for people, but they are not there for us when we need them. We are always busy, always working, always on the phone, always angry, always worrying, always focusing on our mistakes, always trying to fit in. These things are good, but wrong. They are good because some of them are the right things to do. Others are just wrong. Just wrong!

No matter what, always find time to connect with yourself. If you don’t have time to connect with yourself, when will you do it? When?

The more you connect with yourself, the more you will know yourself. The more you will know what you want and need. The better for you.

Find time to relax, to read, to love, to think, to build positive friendships, to clean up your brain. Time is flying by. Find time to enjoy your life. Now. One great thinker said, “Everything has been figured out, except how to live.”
