Individuals tend to have their own particular definition of freedom. In all honesty, some of them are accurate while others are either slightly or mostly off the record. Some believe the concept of this is a state of no conflict at all whatsoever or having anything or everything one has ever dreamed of. However, those who believe it are missing the point. Personally, liberation is more than just what occurs in life; it is on a mental and spiritual level where your mentality simply says, “My life is not free of conflict, my attitude towards it means that I am strong enough to handle what life may aim at me”. The main reason most of us aren’t satisfied with ourselves is because we’re so inexplicably consumed with the thoughts and opinions of others that it begins to ultimately make us insecure. We become mentally enslaved to people’s opinions of us. This causes people to make themselves as to what others expect them to be, often varnishing their true form. In times like this, I ask myself, “Why should I have to put myself through hell in order to please those I don’t even know that well?”. I take this overall concept of freedom seriously. Pertaining to some of my goals, people my age are told to reduce our level of thinking because doing it too much is considered dangerous and that we’ll never be able to pursue what we want but instead do what they want.

My ultimate goal is to motivate and inspire others and I’m glad to acknowledge I’ve been doing so on a weekly to daily basis. One might not get far in life if they resort to this. It does nothing but ultimately turns you into a tool constantly being used until you’re no longer usable. It’s one thing to claim that you’re free (whatever that may mean to you), but it’s another thing to prove it. Words will almost never be true until they’re followed by actions, most of us know this firsthand. In order to unchain the invisible chains in the mind, it starts with realizing you’ve been maintaining illusions told by those or content you thought you were able to trust. It is all a process to, in the words of Dr. Sam Chand, learn, unlearn, and relearn. There will be resistance at first, because no one starts out accepting such a harsh reality, at least not in this society. There is from beginning to end resistance, observation, acceptance, and action. Once your mind is free, you are no longer controlled by anyone or anything. You’ll then have the courage and capability to let go of your care. Once this is done, the path to real liberation is closer than you think.
