“A friend once told me that freedom comes from within. I do not believe it. Freedom does not come from anywhere because freedom does not truly exist. As children, we obey our parents. As teenagers, we are ruled by fear, desire, and the need to belong. As adults, we serve governments, religions, work, money, conscience, and the people we love. In old age, the body becomes another master. We are bound by duty, memory, guilt, love, and the roles society gives us. Even the soul has its chains. Perhaps we are allowed to choose which chains we carry, and perhaps that choice gives us dignity, but it does not make us free. Freedom may be the most beautiful lie in the human language, and because it is beautiful, we keep repeating it.”
― Alex Haditaghi

“Freedom is worth more than impressing others"

Original thoughts by © Jan Jansen Easy Branches

The danger begins when we start believing that money determines how much we are worth as human beings.

Some people increasingly measure their status by wealth, possessions, and what other people can see. A larger house, a more expensive car, more luxurious clothing, or a lifestyle intended to show that things are going exceptionally well. But true status does not come from the price of our possessions. Intelligence, character, achievements, respect for others, and the way we deal with life ultimately say much more about who we truly are.

We do not have to make our achievements smaller than they are. When something is genuinely successful, other people will see it for themselves. We do not have to prove it constantly.

That is precisely where an important boundary can lie.

When success makes us feel that things will always remain this way, we may begin making financial decisions as though today's income were guaranteed tomorrow. We take on greater obligations, borrow money, and increase our fixed expenses because we believe our success will continue.

Slowly, a lifestyle can develop that is no longer based on what we truly need, but on what we want other people to see.

Then we are no longer living only for ourselves.

We begin living more and more for the eyes of others, and then our own real life is over.

And this is exactly what many people have already faced in real life. Not because they were bad people or unable to handle success, but because small changes can quietly become major obligations.

A higher income makes a larger loan possible. A larger loan makes a more expensive lifestyle possible. That lifestyle creates new fixed expenses. As long as everything is going well, there may seem to be little reason for concern.

But success offers no guarantee for the future.

A business can earn less. A job can disappear. A market can change. A partnership can end, or life can unexpectedly move in another direction. Income can fall while debts and monthly obligations simply remain.

That is when we discover how easily financial freedom can turn into financial pressure.

When we can no longer meet all the repayments, we may only then realize how the problems originally began. Not with one enormous mistake, but with a series of decisions that all seemed possible and responsible at the time.

We then think back to the moment when earning more also became spending more. To the moment when enjoyment slowly turned into something we had to keep maintaining. Or to the moment when possessions that initially represented freedom eventually became an obligation.

Not to look back with regret, but to understand where it began.

Because when we understand how a mistake developed, we may be able to prevent ourselves from following the same path again.

That is why it is better not to outgrow our own shoes, but instead to stand more firmly in them.

With both feet on the ground.

It can be wise to live below our financial means even when we could afford much more. Not because we should deny ourselves everything, but because freedom can be worth more than impressing other people.

Those who build reserves create room.

Room for unexpected problems.

Room to get through a difficult period with enough breathing space.

And above all, room to continue making our own choices when circumstances change.

Remaining humble has another value as well. When we do not place ourselves above others because of our success, it becomes easier to remain among people. We can continue listening, observing, and understanding how other people live and what problems they face.

Perhaps we will also see more clearly who appreciates us for who we are and who is interested only in what we have.
