The primary human motivation of every individual should be to attain personal freedom. True personal freedom is to live as you are and to do what you want. However, this is far from reality as we are tied down by several obligations that we never wanted for. When you live by the rules of the others, you are not free. We behave in a certain way because we think we should. All this is because we do not realize that we have power, you are the maker of your own life; everything is a result of your own decisions. Knowingly or unknowingly, every one of us is in the quest for personal freedom. However, the world is not an easy place; it will not give you things easily. For everything in life, one must fight for it and earn it respectfully.
“Do not be unfree in a free world.”
In the modern world, life is complicated. We make a living to please others in our lives and keep up with strangers on social media. Achieving personal freedom is not an easy task; to attain something, one always has to let go of something. To seek immense personal freedom, let go of your fears and horrors. Overcoming the fear of pain, fear of suffering, fear of success and fear of failure and criticism would lead you to attain personal freedom. Fear blocks your mind with clouds and hinders your own attitude. It is like dark clouds in your mind disrupting you to see the good in you. The biochemical state that fear creates in your body affects your immunity and enhances your risk to viruses. Here are some steps to turn your fear into faith.
NOTICE YOUR FEARS. Do a scan through your whole body and assess where you feel the fear. It shall help you break the fear trance. BREATHE. Take a deep breath and this will calm your bodily sensations and lower your blood pressure. TAKE BABY STEPS. Start small towards the road of approaching your fear. FOCUS ON THE BIGGER PICTURE. When you are up against any kind of fear or a challenge, always a bigger picture lies beyond – the ultimate goal.
Keep in mind – Words are cheap but real freedom is expensive. It requires giving up things that are standing in the way of your freedom. Give up your stability – there is no such thing as certainty. Get rid of incompatible people, some people have different values than you and it is perfectly okay. Stop fearing money; otherwise, you will not be able to make more. Wishing, hoping, wanting all is waste if you take no action. Develop a warrior’s attitude and be brave to fight your own battle. Fears are nothing but just your mere state of mind. Everything you ever wished lies on the other side of the fear; so I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and face certain challenges. When one experiences peace and power together, the feeling is amazing. You start balancing yourself and you are filled with rage and challenging yourself. You start expressing yourself to the fullest and start loving yourself.
