A Forgotten Way to Create a Life of Freedom

Freedom means autonomy.

And autonomy means freedom from external control or influence.

The fewer obligations you have, the more free you are.

To discover where freedom can be expanded, look at what constricts freedom.

Have you noticed that you never feel ready to write that book, start a business, or just go after what makes you come alive?

You never feel ready because you’re looking for certainty.

You want to have all the details.

You want to be absolutely sure that everything is going to work out.

Do you have a tough time making a choice?

Worried that you’ll make the wrong one?

You’re not alone. This is common and to be expected. That said, it doesn’t have to be the norm.

You don’t have to drive yourself insane over the choices in your life.

For the longest time, I had trouble making decisions. I wasn’t sure how to move forward.

Time and time again, I ended up drowning myself with information. I searched for certainty, but never seemed to find it.

Do you feel lost?

No purpose? No passion?

No idea where to go?

This may surprise you, but here’s what I’ve discovered: You don’t need to have a direction, purpose, or passion, to fully enjoy life.

Do you let worry stop you from pursuing your dreams?

Worry held me back for a long time.

Deep down, I wanted to follow my heart, my interests, but I was held back by the thoughts dancing in my head.

It was like an unstoppable virus.
