Freedom is something that we all think we have. Something we associate ourselves with. The sad thing is the majority of us are not free. Just because we don't physically have chains around our ankles or aren't behind bars doesn't make us free.
Freedom is a state of mind. It's making that connection with our inner self and are proud to say we are who we are.
When was the last time you were on your own? Were you happy or itching to go and talk to someone? If the latter then maybe it's because your not happy with who you are as an individual. Being on your own provokes thoughtfulness and often you begin to question yourself. If you don't know the answers you'll run and distract yourself by socialising with others.
The harsh reality is, we entered this world alone and we will leave it alone. The main focus should be ourselves. If we are happy with ourselves and have fulfilled our inner desires then everything else in society will fall into place. Into a better place.
Suggestions:
Go for a walk on your own - somewhere quiet, somewhere that you can gaze into the distance and wonder what's out there.
Listen to gentle, inspiring music - turn the lights off at night and lay alone in a dark room. And just listen.
Go travelling alone - go to that place that none of your friends wanted to go to. Just because they didn't want to doesn't mean you shouldn't.
Go to that concert/theatre show on your own - everyone has a guilty pleasure when it comes to music and tend not to express any wanting to go to that concert/theatre for fear people will laugh. Well just go on your own. Who says you have to miss out just because others are happy to?
All of the above are ways to help you on your journey to self discovery but there are many other ways...
What do you like to do on your own? Where are you able to engage deep in thought?
To be free is to be fearless
