The Decision to Live Free


The Decision to Live Free

Life has shown itself to be whatever one makes of it. All that is needed is the mind and belief. But many believe that what one achieves is because of themselves, divine intervention or a combination of the two. Both play a major part, but when do you know which one to activate? How does one impart success with their own being? How does one invoke divine intervention? Can you bring about your failure trying to use them? Never did I know that these things would be the reason as to why I was not successful in my life. Until now. And it was all because of me and my beliefs.
            Let’s be clear. This is not a get-rich lecture. There is nothing here that is for sale. I just wanted to share what I realized in me, and hope that I help someone to see what they need to do to change their trajectory. Who does not want to be successful? Who does not want to feel accomplished and fulfilled? We are given this life to live and make the most of it with the time allotted. Every day is an opportunity to make a difference in our lives by being a difference in others.
            So how did I go from being a failure in thought to being a growing success in self? I changed my mind. That’s it. That is literally all I did. I stopped looking at others, and started looking at myself. I stopped equating my worth to the worth of others. Success is something that is subjective. What one deems as success is not a universal type. But social engineering and lack of self-awareness can have one believe that if they are not where another is, then they are not successful.
            I hope by now you are understanding why I am writing this. You are more than what you see in the media. You are worth more than what belief systems and ideologies portray. You do not have to be a billionaire to be successful. You can be worthless with eight figures in your account. Money does not make you. Money helps you to live comfortably. But that is it. It only helps. Teachings from religious systems will tell you that wealth is a sin, or that it will keep you from having a relationship with a higher power. But at the same time, tell you to give your wealth to them to be of service. This is not an attack on religion. This is a word of advice to not become so lost in teachings, that you believe the spin which keeps you from understanding your worth.
            Whatever you put your mind on, you align with. Whatever you concentrate on, you attribute to your life. But the energy behind your thoughts is what powers your life. You can think that you deserve more. But if your energy is saying that you deserve nothing, no matter how much you think you deserve more, you will get nothing. What is your source of thought? What is your energy base? What is the foundation of your belief? Did you put it there, or was it implanted? Take the time to ask yourself these questions. From there, ask yourself this one question. Do you know who you are? If you can answer that question with honesty, then you can change your way of thinking. And then, you can change your life.
            Know who you are, so you can know what you are worth. Make up your mind what success is to you, and then put your energy behind that vision. Because what may be success to one, can be oppression to another. Learn yourself, and enrich yourself. This is your road to happiness and wealth. Whatever you dream of, will be in your possession. Just believe.
