How to achieve freedom? If you want to attain freedom and enjoy it, please read this post.
Choosing the right freedom
The first thing you should do is to choose the kind of freedom you want to achieve. You have to understand that you can’t be free from everything. Absolute freedom doesn’t exist. If you will attempt to become free from everything, you will end up being free from nothing. You can’t be the master of everyone or everything, because if you do, you will not be following anyone or anything.
Absolute independence doesn’t also exist. No man is an island. Everyone and everything is relative to each other, and therefore must rely on each other.
If you want to be free from something, you must be a servant of the opposite of the thing. For example, if you want to be free from hatred, then you have to be a slave of love. As you will understand, it doesn’t matter if you are free or a slave. It doesn’t matter if you’re the master or the servant. What matters is righteousness.
Therefore, if you want to enjoy freedom, choose the right freedom. Don’t aim to be free from everything or from everyone. If you want to achieve personal growth, then free yourself and escape from laziness, procrastination, lack of self-control, greed, and anger. Achieve personal development by becoming a servant of hard work, patience, self-discipline, selflessness, and kindness.
Achieving financial freedom
Do you want to achieve financial freedom? You will achieve financial independence if you will be a servant of hard work, frugality, and contentment.
Do you want to be free from debt? Be a debt-free person by becoming a slave of diligence, honesty, humility, and self-control. Work hard to earn more, fulfill your promises, be humble, and control yourself from over spending your money.
Do you want to avoid poverty? Embrace the true and hidden riches of the world, which include contentment and happiness in work. When you have contentment, you become selfless and start serving for others. When you have chosen your passion and become happy on your work, you become more productive and you achieve more riches in life.
Being free from war and violence
We are glad that the days of world wars 1 and 2 have been over. However, wars and violence are not yet fully gone in every corner of the world. The world is still not free from crimes and violence. Even though the two previous world wars have already ended, every country is still fighting for their own freedom from crimes, violence and corruption.
We don’t need super heroes, who have extraordinary powers, to fight crimes and injustice in this world… unless of course super villains are their perpetrators. What we need is people power. But people power will never exist without the individual power – the power of each person who composes the people power. Therefore, start producing that power within you.
Be your country’s own hero. Be a part of your nation’s super power – the people’s power. When it’s time to choose your leader, use your one power to elect the righteous leader. Use your power to vote. It’s your personal power, and no one can take that away from you, unless you will exchange it for a sum of money, which is a shame.
Remember that voters are the fathers of political leaders. When you made a wrong vote, you give birth to a wrong leader, and subsequently to a wrong administration. Remember that it’s not the nations who invade nations. But it’s the political leaders who lead invasions.
Be simply a hero by defending your own vote! Be a hero by stopping the source of corruption – the corruption of your own vote!
Being free from sins
So you want to be in heaven? Then escape from hell! No matter how it will take, you must have the courage to overcome evil. Challenge yourself greatly… really greatly.
Remember that you cannot be free from sins if you also wish to be free from love and righteousness. If you really want to be free from sins, then be humble and be a slave of righteousness. Choose good and reject evil.
If you want to enjoy freedom, achieve the kind of freedom that is truly enjoyable in the long run.
It’s okay to be a slave or a servant… as long as you know that your master or the one you are serving is right.
However, it’s wrong to be a slave or a servant if you know that your master is leading you in the wrong way.
It’s great to be a master or a leader… as long as you know that you are being right.
But it’s foolish to be a master or a leader if your followers are crying foul.
So do you want to achieve freedom? Specify the freedom you want to achieve now. Make sure you will enjoy it not only in this lifetime, but even beyond the end of time.
