Everyone wants freedom, freedom from stress, freedom from worry, freedom from pain, freedom to be and do whatever you want. The state of freedom is to be free from all these negative things and so much more. Imagine if you could live completely free!
Well, I’m here to tell you that you can! No, I am not a psychological expert. I don’t have a college degree or any plaques on my wall. But here is one thing that I know, freedom is a state of mind. It is not a state based of your circumstances. It is only when we succumb to the pressures around us that we lose our freedom. Your mental and spiritual state always precedes the physical. In other words, I determine my own freedom regardless of what may be happening around me. The ones who are able to obtain this state of mind are free!
Here are some examples of people who exhibited this quality: Abraham, Job, David, Jesus, Paul, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ronald Reagan. And there are many others that could be added to the list. And I won’t get into all the reasons why all these people were free but you can study their lives and see if you come to the conclusion. I realize in making a list of this nature there may be some who disagree with my assessment of these men, but this is my blog and my list! I have the freedom to list whoever I want. 🙂
So, what does all this mean? It means you can be free if you want to be. If you want to be free, just decide to be and you will be.! It’s as simple as that I know that may sound ridiculous based on your situation. But just try it. What can it hurt?
