Are You Truly Free In Life?

Perhaps you could have come up with other issues that matter more "freedom", like your personal health, your wealth accumulation, your amazing family or love relationship. However, if you are not able to face your personal health, wealth, or any of your relationships with a heart of freedom, all these seemingly beautiful and enjoyable things in life can turn out to be a unbearable burden.

You may be physically very healthy but you could persistently be upset by some of your internal troubles and conflicts, to a point where constant depression and worries are slowly eroding your own will to even live. You sometimes may even wish that you could be the lying on a patient's bed, at least there will be someone who can comfort you and take good care of you. Having abundant wealth may not bring you happiness and a sense of security, for you may have to cast your worries everyday on the many eagle eyes preying on your wealth. The same goes for relationships, many a times it can bring about many negative emotions that are threatening to wreck your life. If you truly have a heart of freedom, a burden will not seem like a burden. Instead, it will form a part of yourself. You can carry it freely wherever you go, and even feel stronger with their presence. It is only then that you can truly enjoy the happiness that comes with your health, wealth, and relationships.




We face people of all sorts most of our lives, be it in workplace or anywhere else. One noticeable trait of someone who does not have a heart of freedom is someone who may be self-centred. These people will always have reasons to complain about things whenever a work task is assigned to him or her. They hardly see the positive value in the work they do and easily get jealous of other's achievements and say nasty comments to justify the reasons why others may have been chosen for promotion or a reward rather than themselves. Any words of explanation will only seek to aggravate them and be seen by them as a form of sarcasm.

 No matter how capable these people are, they ought to be pitied upon. Simply because they have possibly taken a simple and enjoyable task and made it miserable. They are not free deep within their hearts, for they are being imprisoned by their desires and ambitions. They have created a cage and locked themselves in with self-resentment.

 Are you truly free in life? Because if you do not have a heart of freedom deep down, all the amazing things in this world will just turn out to be your cage that imprisons you forever. For I am, like many of you, traveling towards the road to freedom and making it one of many important lessons of my life.

How You See Yourself Ultimately Decides The Kind of Life You Will Live

Image
Until the moment when we finally find our souls, we are always being influenced by the environment we are in from a very young age. Our thoughts and beliefs are pretty much entirely shaped by our family and society.  However, what the world often says and what the world later does are often against each other. One day, when we feel that we are completely abandoned by the world, we will slowly come to a realisation and enlightenment. That is when our inner selves will grow to be stronger, we learn to ignore the naysayers, we form new perspectives on Life and gain alternative strategies on how to traverse this world we live in. It is at this moment that your inner soul is no longer as ignorant as it used to be; all sorts of Joker , big or small, will be born.  Joker (2019 film) From the Big Bang, to the formation of our solar system, to the existence of Mother Earth, to the creation of various lifeforms, to the evolution of Homo Sapiens, to the birth of your v...

Our Addiction With The Pleasures In Life

Image
We are all addicted to something. Whether it is for good or bad, we should accept that we almost always do it in order to experience pleasure as an after-effect. If we get what we want, we feel pleased and the pleasure we get as a result reinforces the idea of wanting ever more. That mental representation of some desired state will linger in our minds and cause us to direct our energy to realise it. Life certainly has a funny way of dealing with our addiction in obtaining pleasure. Just when we thought we are smart enough to escape the evil claws of our addictions , we soon realise the resulting pleasure does not last long despite the major events that take place in our lives. We, as humans, have the tendency to focus very much on making changes and it is this ability to adapt that limits our opportunities for very lasting pleasures. We find ourselves quickly conforming to these incoming pleasures that we were once convinced they will bring, only to repeatedly finding ourselv...

Let's Not Rush To Become A Fool

Image
We often just let life happen to us even when the things in life start to go awry and fall out of pace. In essence, w e have the tendency to have the passenger mentality in life. We succumb to what life has on offer through actions of our own and nobody else.  There are three key points about life we ought to adhere to: Choice, Self-belief, and Determination. There is a short story I like to share: Once there was a girl from the rural part of Russia whose dream is to become a ballet dancer. In order to fulfil her dream, she practiced day and night. She eventually performed very well, and was placed well above the ballet dancers in her age group to succeed. However, as the dance moves got more complicated, she started to experience failures at a higher rate. As a result, her self-belief faltered and doubted her ability to perform at the highest level.  One day, a world renowned ballet dancer was invited to perform in her village where this girl was from. I...
