Original Freedom.

True Freedom 

does not rest on

the crowns

of

 arrogant, selfish and small-minded

self-made

prince and princesses.

True Freedom 

belongs

 to the crowns

of

humble, selfless and big-minded

prince and princesses.

These are the

true sons and daughters

of

Original Royalty.

*

Freedom

grows

when you

look out

for

others.

*

Freedom

decays

in

self-interest,

in

selfishness,

when you

look out

only for

yourself.

*

How do you 

distinguish

a

person who

has

Freedom?

A very commercialized

image

we tend to identify

a free person

is

a man or woman

going wild 

on the Harley Davidson bike

or

 frolicking by the beach

with

absolutely 

no responsibilities to mind.

Bottom-line:

'Getting my way 

all the time.

It's all about

 me.

Nothing 

matters more

than 

me.'

'Me'

or

'Meeeeee me  meeee.'

could be the most

ear-grating, irritating, whiny

word

ever.

'Me' 

never fits into

the true meaning of

Freedom.

How is this

logical?

See if this is

logic:

If your life is all about

'me',

there is only

one

person 

in

your world -

you.

One world,

one human being.

Imagine.

That's

one

micro-world!

If you realize,

when we're in

selfish-mode,

we tend to think

tiny

thoughts!

Our

 capacity 

becomes

dangerously low.

When we only

 care

enough for

'me',

we only

'mind our own business'

and

become

easily lethargic

when the business is about

others.

In giving, 

we find it a

chore.

We

don't like to

give

or

share.

We are

 only 

interested

in

Receiving,

in

Taking.

We want things

only for

ourselves.

We say,

'What about me?'

'What can I get out of this?'

Our

 creativity level

 is at

 dehydration stage.

We have only

a

fish tank of ideas

[sometimes, a cereal bowl

or

a few drops].

We would say many times,

'I don't know.'

'I can't.'

'No.'

With a

me-view,

we look at everything

from

acute angles -

what we are able to see

in our perspectives

are

narrow.

We would say many times,

'Cannot, cannot.'

Although

there are a world of possibilities

in a situation,

we develop a 

blind-spot

that blocks us from

solving the problems

or

overcoming the challenges.

When we're

interested only in 

'me',

our

thoughts,

imagination,

confidence,

speech

and

actions

revolve

only

around

one person -

how small

that circumference is,

how pathetic

we could reduce our lives

to be!

Self-awareness

is

one of the primary factors

of

maturity

but

excessive,

obsessive 

self-awareness

that

cripples our ability 

of

appreciating, caring and giving 

to others

is

really

an emotional-cancer

that

destroys the joy,

the Freedom,

of living the life

we are

 originally

given.

Excessive 'me'

sucks up

your life

into a vacuum

where

no one exists

except

an attention-hungry

but never satisfied individual.

If Freedom

is about

'me',

then Freedom

is seriously miserable -

downright

unimpressive!

Now,

let's check into the

world

of a

person who owns a lifestyle

of the

opposite:

In this world,

he isn't the only man.

If you could look into

his brain,

there are

many names of 

people.

Through the day,

these names travel on an

energetic brain activity

that

produces 

plans, solutions, surprises, appointments

around these people.

There's a lot of

Creative Thinking

happening

and

this creativity runs in his

mind like a dynamo -

the more people

in his head,

the more ideas

 bubble over.

Ideas

are attracted to

people who 

live in 

big worlds.

This man has

big thoughts.

Big thoughts,

big man.

He

 starts small

but

he thinks 

big.

He has a

world-view.

His knowledge

is

not limited

to information about himself

but

others.

He

 knows many things;

he

 searches, discovers, pursues

all things

from a world-view.

His perspectives 

are from an

elevated angle.

He sees

 oceans of possibilities.

The

 mountains of challenges

seem absolutely possible to scale.

If he can see the peak of the mountain,

he knows he can 

conquer it.

In giving,

he

gives 

freely.

If you

think big,

you focus on

what you have

instead of

what you don't have -

giving becomes

easy.

In social setting,

he

looks out

for

people.

He

has

compassion.

A truly free man,

is

free from 

self-consciousness

and

paranoid loneliness.

He is free to

move around

and

step into other people's worlds.

He is

 free to

express and give away

 the love

he has received

through

smiling, encouraging and empowering 

others.

He has a

big heart.

He usually says,

'What about him?'

'What about them?'

In problems,

he

doesn't run away!

He

proactively 

approaches 

people and situations

and

does what he can

to help.

He enjoys doing

new things.

When there sees

no opportunities,

he 

creates them.

He habitually says,

'Let's do it!'

'It's possible.'

'Can do!'

'Will do!'

A truly free man,

is not limited;

he has

unlimited

possibilities 

overflowing in his life.

His world is 

huge,

and it has loads of surface area

to make space for

people.

This guy

is in the

rhythm of life - 

there's

momentum 

that's

 unaffected 

by occasional mood swings, 

there's

an energy 

that's

 more than

his physical effort and strength,

there's

joy

in him.

This guy

who has

true freedom

is

truly living
