Freedom & Pushing through
Lets talk a bit about freedom, from the future of money, modern business, to life in all.
Freedom is the most sought-after things in everything we do. Whether we want more money, more time, more things, or less worries, every desire we have is based upon some derivative of freedom.At the end of day we’re all chasing the same thing, & that thing is freedom.
The Irony of chasing Freedom
The ironic part about freedom is that while you’re making strides to achieve it in one area of your life, you’re at a point of least freedom. This is because you have a desire for freedom (we all do). Desire is not a bad thing, but it means you’ve decided to put aside internal peace (freedom of worry) to chase something else.In the moment you decide you want more freedom of your time, you may decide you are going to work for yourself, or start a business. & this makes a ton of sense to do… you’re not going to make your own schedule working under someone elses supervision. The irony here shows once again. Deciding to go on your own means you will have to sacrifice your extra time now to making your desire a reality, working on your own business after your regular job, or saving up a ton of money then quitting your main job. Either way you are sacrificing temporary freedom for a percieved greater form of freedom.& this to me is a beautiful thing, taking risks, reaching higher for something, going after your desire for a more concrete form of freedom so you can live a better life… we all desire it, but most of us don’t want to make the short term sacrifices to make it happen. I’m not trying to tell anyone how to live either, we all have our own ideal. To me I would rather fail 100 times over trying to make my own path than to stick with the linear form of freedom that is packaged by societal norms: Get a job, work until you’re 60+, retire.There is beauty in every part of life, & different forms of freedom. In a developed country with opporunities around every corner of the internet, you can choose your own freedoms.
Defining moments of Ultimate freedom
Whenever you are pushing through hard times to get to an end goal or to achive a desire you have, there are some defining moments that test if you really have what it takes to reach the desire.These moments may be described in a few ways or feel as follows:”This is too hard, nothing is working”"It all feels hopeless””I didn’t think it would be this hard””I want to give up””I don’t know if I can do it afterall”
— Hopelessness. This is what the defining moment is often comprised of. Wether you cave in to the hopelessness (when things get hard) or whether you push through even though it may all feel hopeless… This is the defining moment if people increase their chances of reaching their desires. & a reminder, that your desires are always in someway connected to a form of freedom.Continuing on the example of starting your own business or working for yourself, it may feel that it’s impossible to even start. Before you can even face a problem you are already at battle with your own mind that you can’t do it.Probably because we are raised in school & in every way traditionally to work jobs first & foremost.This means there are checkpoints similar to the hopelessness defining moment, at smaller scale pitted in chasing every form of freedom, even before you begin.It’s no wonder why people give up so easily on hard things, because they have yet to taste the so craved freedom in its full effects, without being diluted with someone elses expectations or goals crossing into your own.If you get a taste of working for yourself & your someone who has wanted to work for themselevs all their lives… It will become challanging to even think about an alternate route & you will naturally lean towards your desire in a much more hopeful way.This can be applied to any desire, aiming to reach a taste of freedom given from a desire can drive you to more forms of ultimate freedom, but you’ll have to push through a lot of doubt & hopelessness to first get that taste.
Most people quit before the going gets good, therefore it never gets good, & it’s natural that the cycle of unfufilled desires repeat.
My 2 Forms of Ideal Freedom
Before I close this article, I want to go over the framework of freedom I’ve based my life around evolving towards, in hopes you can leave me a reply with you ideal freedoms & tell me why you are aiming for them.The 2 types of freedom I am personally most concerned with as a starting basis are:
financial (+ freedom to transact)
time freedom (online solo business)Subscribe now
In order to reach these two planes of freedom I know I will have to give up a lot in the short term or be stuck waiting around for oddball luck to save me.For the form of financial freedom & time freedom I am concerned with it’s not just about being wealthy, but being in control of my wealth. This means working for myself to make wealth & not doing it under someone elses rules. If I want to be able to go to the beach with my partner and future kids on a wednesday, I want to be abelt to, without hesitation or worry, to do it. If I want to book a last minute trip to a tropical location (without worry or hesitation), I can do it.My entire life I have been worried about money, and been very conscious how much I spend, This has served me to be able to quit my job because I had a ton of savings but it also holds me back in areas of investing into myself often times because I’m scared to lose it all in something that isn’t tangible.At the end of the day, I want freedom to not worry about the day to day spending of $30 here and there or even a few thousand dollar trip.However even though this freedom of finances is important to me, the freedom of time is even more important.I would much rather make $40,000 a year working for myself than $500,000 working for someone else.Now, combining the two to reach higher is where short term stress is taken on in order to reach my form of ultimate freedom.On top of this I am also very interested in cryptocurrenies, a new form of money & how our economy operates… knowing that what we think of as reliable today may not be a year from now (money & dollars itself) — I’m adding this interest because I know a ton of people are stuck in paralysis of what might happen, but the truth is even knowing that our ecomomy will have major shifts & distruptions in the years to come, makign it a mission to reach your own ultimate freedoms will only enable you to be better off in any resolution as you constantly learn to adapt and grow with the times.Finally to close this off, i’ll ask again you to reply to this with your forms of ultimate freedom, let me know why you desire said freedoms and how you plan on moving towards them too.thanks for reading so very much, sincerly, your friend jack :)
