Everyone Wants to be Free

Everyone likes to have freedom. Whether it be financially free or personally free also known as inner peace. It is easy enough to know about financial freedom. There are several examples of those who have it and few who like to talk about how we can achieve it such as Dave Ramsey.

But the hardest freedom is our own personal freedom. Everybody wants to feel free and have no regrets in this life. But how are we supposed to reach this personal freedom? It may seem that one way is to have objects or secular items. Another option could be a religious standpoint where your beliefs mold your character. How do you feel free?

There are many people who decide to not act themselves which in turn makes them feel not satisfied. This could lead to a life full of regret whether or not they seemed an esteemed and fulfilled person to everyone else. This is because they are wearing a mask that hides who they really are.

We live in a world where it is easy to fake it to make it. So, we could make it to the top in whatever it is we desire to achieve and look extremely successful. But, would it feel worth it in the end? I don’t believe so.

I believe that if we are to make life worth it no matter what we have or what we believe we must be true to ourselves and not hide who we are. This also includes who we want to become and where we want to be in life. We all desire true happiness and a sense of fulfillment. So, why not do what you feel your purpose is or what you believe will bring great satisfaction to the lives we are currently living!

The danger here though is that we may feel it necessary to exploit other people to gain these achievements. This mindset is actually destructive and will make the achievement worthless and not satisfying.

No one wants to be hurt physically and/or emotionally. Though we shouldn’t be a people pleaser, we can still uplift those around us by the way we live. Those who see the example of someone who is trying their best to be themselves and show the world their true self will eventually start to desire to be themselves or find out who they really are.

One of the best ways to be an example is to have high standards of life. This is not about lifestyle and fashion but of your own personal character. Who is it you truly want to become? Who you want to become will shape the standards that you feel are right. As you mold yourself, your higher standards can help inspire others to be more like themselves as they seek something more in their own lives.

Whoever you desire to be, be sure to stay true to yourself and find satisfaction in what you do. Place your standards high and be confident in your steps. You never know what potential you have unless you go for what you want.

Don’t give up on yourself. It takes time to become who you want to be. Just be yourself and go at your own pace. Life is tough but it is something you can gain control of for yourself. You will win at life when you have nothing left to regret.

In a world full of chaos and confusion, it is ever so important that we stand firm and steadfast in the truths that we hold dear that we might be a light to those who are seeking for these truths.
