Freedom is Important
Throughout my life, I’ve always yearned for freedom from the rigid and emotionless social systems within modern society. I’m not referring to financial freedom; rather, I’m talking about the structured, unfeeling systems that are unquestionably accepted by the majority of people worldwide. As a matter of fact, a bunch of the rules we obey nowadays have no real foundations; they are sheer nonsense. We have just followed these rules, which have been currently practiced, without thinking whether they make any sense and respect for individual conditions as human beings. And guess what? – If we listen to our hearts and decide to behave differently, we are considered ‘mad,’ ‘insane,’ or ‘immature.’
However, we have the freedom to choose to behave differently according to our conscience and think if the current practiced rules make us happy. If you feel restricted and unhappy, you had better start behaving differently according to your heart’s prompt and conscience to be happy each day. We are not tamed animals; we are human beings with feelings. We possess the freedom to choose to be true to ourselves and behave accordingly.
Furthermore, I believe that having freedom makes us happy; therefore, freedom is extremely important to our lives. So, why don’t you start exercising your own freedom to become who you truly are all the time instead of being coerced to behave exactly like everyone else?
What Is the Meaning of Freedom?
Being restricted makes you feel unhappy; on the contrary, having freedom makes you feel happy which we all know of. But alas, why haven’t most people exercised their freedom to be happy? This is because most people don’t have the courage to follow their own rules and are constantly preoccupied with how others might perceive them if they were to start behaving differently.
It is so sad to see that most people don’t practice the advantage of having their own freedom to choose to stop obeying the rules which they do not agree with. So, what is freedom? – that is one of the crucial questions in our lives. I have constantly thought about the meaning of freedom to understand life more and I have some inklings of the meaning of freedom that I believe. In short, I would like to share my belief about the meaning of freedom with you here:
What is the meaning of freedom? Does having a lot of money to buy or do whatever one fancies have anything to do with freedom? Or no longer needing to be a slave to a daily job, does that have anything to do with freedom? Or having ample time for oneself, does that have anything to do with freedom? I don’t think so. True freedom means freeing yourself. Freedom is required to take the form of leaving yourself open to all kinds of new experiences, which means that one should need to forget preconceived ideas so that he can be absolutely free. Most importantly, one ought to perceive what his heart tells him; he ought to realize what he truly wants to do from the bottom of his heart for the rest of his life; he ought to make a pure effort to strive for his goal; he ought to become a slave for his dreams; and he ought to accept his unique destiny unquestioningly and walk on his true path relentlessly. Yes, I am willing to admit that I am a slave of my mission as a writer, and I am sincerely proud of being my own slave. In addition, I have made a rigid program for myself and disciplined it unswervingly for years. In other words, I am a champion of discipline.
BECOMING A SLAVE OF YOUR DREAM AND MISSION IS THE FIRST TICKET TO HAVING YOUR OWN FREEDOM. SO, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? START BEING A SLAVE OF YOUR DREAM TO ENJOY YOUR LIFE TODAY! NOT TOMORROW, BUT TODAY!
Everyone Has Freedom to Choose Their Private Destiny
Having your own freedom is the key to enjoying your life. Life is only one time; therefore, you had better use your own free will to do what you are passionate about every single day and resolutely walk on your private destiny for the rest of your life. This is because if you walk on the same road that everyone chooses to walk on, you will be restricted and constantly feel bored. You will be exactly like everyone else and live an identically monotonous life for the rest of your life.
“Do you want to be exactly like everyone else? Do you want to repeat living the same humdrum life for 80 years? Or do you want to walk on your private destiny to see the different life from everyone else?” I wonder. Robert Frost wrote a charming poem about choosing a different road from everyone else:
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
You have your own freedom to choose which roads you are willing to walk on. And I bet that you want to walk on your own unique path. For that reason, you had better exercise your own freedom to walk on your own private destiny in order to make your unique history.
I have written the Song of Friendship trilogy, which explores the journey of exercising one’s own free will to follow their unique path and discover their personal freedom:
Liberation: Seeking the Meaning of Life is a poignant and thought-provoking book that provides abundant food for thought. It delves much deeper than your typical travel biography, exploring questions that touch upon the core of the human condition.
Mexican Rhapsody: Having a Second Chance is a beautiful breath of fresh air, serving as a rallying cry that will inspire you to liberate yourself from soul-destroying situations and pursue a life of light, meaning, and joy.
Dance to Dream: Making the Right Choice is a deeply moving book that offers readers of all backgrounds a refreshing glimpse of the life-changing possibilities that are within our reach.
Life Is Supposed to Be Fun
If you don’t use your freedom to begin what you really want to do for the rest of your life, you will remain unhappy and invariably feel something missing in your life. If you don’t use your freedom to start becoming what you are supposed to be, you will constantly feel depressed, dispirited, and dejected since you are wasting the gift that God has bequeathed to you.
Every human being has a unique gift to be shined, so why don’t you start using your own free will to cultivate your own special gift? Stop thinking about what other people think of you and listening to other people’s gossip, for you don’t need to prove and explain anything to anyone: You have your own dreams to pursue and your own happiness to think about. Hence, you had better exercise your freedom to choose to listen to your heart attentively instead of listening to other people’s gossip to waste your energy.
People who gossip about you have nothing to do with their lives, and their lives are colorless; therefore, they gossip about you when you start exercising your freedom to be true to yourself all the time in order to enjoy your life to the fullest: they are jealous of you. At any rate, let people gossip about you, for giving your ears to jealous people is wasting your precious time; you must concentrate on doing what you are supposed to do for your dear life every single day – You have the power of your own free will to choose. And then, you will know how happy you are every day.
Always remember that you have the freedom to choose what you want to be, so enjoy the process of becoming what you want to be! Life is supposed to be fun!
ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM TO BECOME THE PERSON YOU ARE MEANT TO BE, AMEN!
