What is To Exist? Freedom!

“And does not true freedom mean choosing ways in this world that to the good of all and are guided by love?” – Pope Francis

Reading one of the morning affirmations today, the above stated quote of Pope Francis got my attention and made me wonder that what actually freedom is; whether it is Love, Existence, Self-Reliance, or a State of Mind.

Freedom is acceptance, the ability to embrace mistakes, choices that turn out good, bad or ugly and not denying fears. Instead of trying very harsh on making your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure! Freedom as a word never meant breaking chains; rather it is the power to choose your own chains. There is no greater freedom than the freedom to be you. Our minds are powerful thing; we have to fill it with positive thoughts.

Here is my secret of Happiness and Being a Free Soul: I DON’T MIND WHAT HAPPENS!

Freedom is nothing else than a chance to be better. I believe no one outside ourselves can rule us inwardly and we realise this, I think we become free. While thinking on penning down my article on freedom – the very first thought I had looked like this - “freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond”.

I think giving right direction on attainment of freedom is like giving the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay ahead and liberated is the best gift we can give our generations in return. Love is only freedom from attachment. When you love everything, you are attached to nothing. Freedom consists not in refusing to recognize anything above us, but in respecting something which is above us; for by respecting it, we raise ourselves to it, and, by our very acknowledgment, prove that we bear within ourselves what is higher, and are worthy to be on a level with it.

I always quote Benjamin Franklin when discussing liberation and freedom it was “Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom – and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech”. I think freedom is to find you by thinking of yourself. Doing what you love is freedom.

It is our greatest responsibility to love ourselves and know that we are enough. That’s Freedom!

To Mistakes, Regrets and Everything Above!

“There is always that One Stupid Mistake, That Changes Everything!” Today morning while I was deciding to pen something to keep my readers and myself spirited on hopes and idealism. This time I thought to connect on something which is probably an everyday story to all of us.  Let us understand that we have to stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive about what could go right! Every day we all struggle, and it does happen that struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If you were to go through your life without any obstacles, you would be disabled and crippled. Probably, we would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance! Believe me; the reward is not so great without any struggle story. During our struggle, we do make mistakes! Alexander Pope quoted “TO ERR IS HUMAN”! We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But, we are not only our mistakes, or struggles; we are here in N...

What Broke You?

It’s Time to Move On! -Whatever you thought about while reading this, IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY! My mother always taught me that human behavior flows from sources of desire, knowledge and emotions. It’s emotions that make us humans. Emotions are strong and intuitive feeling which is distinguished from reasoning or knowledge. More than confusing or breaking you, let it be an experience. Here is a thought to not only overcoming emotions but accepting it; accepting our flaws and failures. We must accept the understanding that it’s tears that can make us strong and heartbreaks that makes us wiser. So, please thank your past for a better future. We have to admit this one simple fact which is that how many times we try and visit past, it has nothing new to offer us. Those failures, stupidities, ugly points, imperfections, or heartbreaks; sometimes it does take a good fall to really know where you are standing. The hardest battle that we have ever fought is with ourselves. We have t...
