Why freedom?

“The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you had no worries and could wake up on your own terms every single day? Imagine a life where you can be your own boss and control how you live out your time. Our time on this planet as a human is fleeting, faster and faster. Especially as you grow older, it feels as though time is speeding up. This phenomenon causes many people to feel as if they have not done enough in life and feel less worthy in their belief in themselves. This causes many people to have mid-life crises or even as early as a quarter-life crisis. This is why when people pick a mission, that they are actually passionate about, its easier to feel fully committed. Therefore, they feel as though they are more alive and happy with themselves. The decisions you make in your life have a direct impact on how your life is going to go. But putting too much weight in your decisions can cause a bit of paralysis by analysis type deal and honestly would make you go a little crazy. 
	
What should you do if you want to be free?
First, you have to decide what your goal is in life. Everyone should have a mission, something they can dream about and eventually plan out to happen. The key to freedom is to have the ability to life your life on your own timeline. The best way to do this is to schedule out your days in 15 minute blocks. This allows you to understand every part of your time so you can maxamize your time. So you have no time to mindlessly scroll on instagram/tiktok or take a 2 hour shit (only if you have to). 
After scheduling your times, preferably the night before so you can wake up and be productive, you have to set up your long term goals. These goals should be SMART goals. That means they are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time bound.  Make sure you write them down on paper or somewhere you can see. The science says that if it’s out there, you are more likely to accomplish and follow through with your goals. 
There’s so many chances, options and paths you can take if you want to be free. But why does everyone want to be free? It’s because time you never get back in this life. Money comes back to you, there will always be a chances to make more money, but you’re experiences and time are ever fleeting. 
Lastly, after writing down you’re goals, make sure you set a plan in place to reach those goals. So for me, with my schedule I want to write at least one blog every two weeks on the topics I love.  I’ve set up my schedule so I know exactly when and how much time I have to accomplish this.  
I’m going to leave with this, as long as you care enough and you set your mind to something, who’s to say you can’t accomplish it. There’s a thing that some people use, some may even say it’s pseudoscience or magic. But in all the wealthy or famous people who’ve went along and reached there goals and become successful in life, they have all used this tactic in some form. This tactic can be named many things, autosuggestion, manifestion or visualization. How does it work? Every night before you go to bed, see your self accomplishing your goals. What does is look like, feel like or even smell like. Your brain can’t discern what is real or what is in your imagination. Your mind is a powerful tool and you can use it to your advantage by selectively using your creativity and manifestion to see yourself becoming successful and living out your plan you set for yourself. 
Live, Thrive and Dose out your days.
