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?’

You can achieve anything if you believe. But that is not what we do. Instead of doing what we can do, we are after what we cannot do.

‘Exposure activates curiosity.’

We are trying to change what we cannot change. We are after what others are doing, not what we can do to make our lives better.

Whether you want to hear this or not, according to Micheal Burt, ‘Nothing can change until you cut away the things that keep you stuck.’

‘We can prevent regret by exploring our talents and spending time working harder to match those talents with the correct work for us.’

‘When people lose the urge to fight, you can watch their progress gradually decline.’

‘When you distribute your talents to the world to solve big problems or bring new opportunities to people, you make yourself eligible for bigger payouts from the world.’

‘What you want to avoid is being in an environment where you don’t have to perform and are allowed to just goof off’

‘Without an environment that causes you to perform at a higher level, you contract to a place of comfort.’

‘You need people in your life– such as a coach, leader, mentor, or manager- who expect something from you.’

‘When you connect to your activator, you exude confidence.’

‘When you’re in the room with people distributing their talents at the highest levels with top levels of commitment and dedication to their craft, you have no choice to put up or shut up.’

‘Don’t allow yourself to fall complacent into believing that where you are is as big as you will ever get. Train your mind to be open to new people, new experiences, and better ways of operating.’

‘With persistence, the passion for the goal must be present, and there must be a consistency that you cultivate that takes an action and converts it to a habit.’

‘You must have a desire to move from pretending to contending. You need to want to do something big in order to actually do something big. To make this happen, you must remove the low-value activities you currently spend your time participating in.’
