Chapter 1

FREEDOM

How are you doing? How is life? Ask yourself these questions and ponder for a while. These are intriguing questions that can touch your core and surely open your mind to unlocking your true reality. I am not talking about what you have been taught all your life as absolute truth, which has been influenced by the world systems and has engulfed your train of thought and actions throughout your life. I am merely referring to the simple processes of life, which will inevitably lead you to discover your true self.

I remembered some years ago, my younger sister called me one day and asked how I was doing. It brought shivers to my spine as it was the most caring question anyone could ever ask. I was touched beyond measure since I was dealing with a situation in my life, and when asked that question, it meant a lot. It was truly appreciated, and every day I think about it. To this day, when I meet anyone, I always ask, How are you doing? It’s showing a level of care and wanting the best for that person.

In essence, I probably do not know you, but we are all connected, and we share life. I am very thankful for you engaging in what is shared, as sharing is caring and caring is sharing. I genuinely care to share with you a journey into a life that will stimulate your mental fortitude toward a paradigm shift. With this new awareness, if you choose to accept, it will undoubtedly create a freedom within you that you have never experienced before. My goal is to be real and share what many people think but would not publicly come out and say. I am not sharing to upset anyone as I am freely sharing my experiences in life and what has led to my awakening. To each their own, but I will continue to love, accept, and respect all people for who they are.

Freedom is the act of being emancipated, whereby you have the liberty to be yourself, to think, to act, and to speak at will. This freedom, however, comes with a high level of responsibility that will undoubtedly unlock the greatness within you. Experiencing this freedom is undoubtedly an experience to behold and one filled with pure excitement, as you can take charge of your own life and create your reality. You are great; I am great. Greatness is who we are on our journey through life. All you have to do is be aware, be true to yourself, and live your life.

Life is what you make of it by the choices you make and keep. Your experiences are delightful and straightforward, yet at times it does not appear to be so because of misguided perceptions and ideologies that have governed you. Buyers beware, because people will sell you their dreams and their formulas for you to do x, y, and z so you can strike the jackpot. Most of all, people will present to you their presumptions, their human-made traditions, and their ideas as gospel for you to follow.

I was once naive in my thinking, and my perceptions of life grew weary until I broke free and saw the light at the end of the tunnel when the scales came off my eyes. I was able to eradicate all the mental shackles from my life to be where I am today—in a place of true freedom. I am certainly in a great place mentally because my mind is free from confusion. There is no guilt, no convictions, no remorse, and yes, there are no regrets in my life. I know that life is a journey that takes us all through many hills and valleys and around many obstacles. I also know that our lives are a compilation of all our past experiences. When you know this and allow your mind to rest easy, life is put into perspective as it gives you a more refined meaning for living.

I derived this freeing mind-set after departing a religious system where people are always trying to be something they are not naturally or pressured into acting a certain way just to fit in or to belong. It’s from the same system that some people cannot live freely and be themselves because of a particular book or books that place limitations on how they ought to live.

I chose to focus a lot on religious systems as I am quite knowledgeable through firsthand experience. I have been there and have seen the pressures of life that comes within the walls of religions. Firstly, some religious leaders expect their followers to follow their interpretation of their governing book. Then there are the same faithful members judging you and pointing fingers. Later, if you are in the system, you try to be the person the system wants you to be, from having to read a particular book, fast, go to church weekly, go to Bible study, or even pray, hoping you will be following the way and doing what is right to connect to your religious god. Then you are left wondering if your god hears you and wondering if you are worthy, to thinking about heaven, hell, and the afterlife.

It seems like a lot of unbeknownst mental struggles to me, but this is just the internal religious mind-sets faced. Now when you are outside of your spiritual environment, there are outside pressures thrust upon you to be the same person you are when you are within your comfort zone. There is also the pressure of being this holy or righteous person, to wondering if you are living in purpose or also wondering if you are in your god’s will. These factors are a lot to deal with, and they are impacting people’s rational approach to life in many ways. When the realness of life manifest and you suppose to be in your god’s will, how do you genuinely live totally according to what your beliefs demand of you?

By now, you must be mentally drained and hoping for redemption, with the pressure that you have to be this transformed person for some god to bless you and you wondering if you are cursed if things are not going your way in life. Is this religious freedom where you become free? If you are in this type of system, you must ask yourself these questions.

Who won’t be glad to be free from that pressure so you can be your true self, create your destiny, and live your own life? For me, I found just that. I no longer get caught up in all the intricacies of life which are created and controlled by man, as I simply focus on the processes of life to be a better person daily and learn from my experiences in life. In the meantime, while I am alive, I make the choices that will define my life and enjoy it while being myself.

This freedom should challenge and channel the greatness in you to strive to become just that in every facet of your life. Your mental aptitude will long to produce the fruits of greatness. You do not even have to strive for it as greatness is who you are already. You unequivocally have to be your true self.

You must believe in yourself to release your true potential and not believe in a system that will stunt your growth. You are perfect in design, but it’s your mind that needs to know this and be reminded of it every day. The reality is, you don’t have to do anything to be free; you were born free. You are free to live however you choose, and your choices will determine your life’s journey as they will make you who you are. Indeed, no one can judge anyone based on their life’s decisions as no one is better than the next man. We are here to live, and we ought to live life to the fullness.

Let the truth be known; we are all individually capable of so much. The world’s systems are in place to limit individual growth and to limit the true potential and manifestation of the true self in humanity. People have to believe in themselves, know their worth, and put less faith in these systems that are fading away. Religion exposes humanity’s failure mechanism as humans long for a savior, but the real need of man is a changed mind-set. Knowing this, I am therefore challenging you to rise to the challenge by unlocking the greatness within yourself. You must awake to your freedom so you are no longer held captive by the systems of life. Do these systems want you to be free? Of course not! Get out now and be open to living your life.

Chapter 2

BREAK DOWN THE WALLS

There is an adage that states the best form of defense is an offense. There is so much truth to this surreal oxymoron statement, which is meant to keep you on the offensive in life. If you want to keep progressing at anything in life, you have to keep sharpening your tools and doing whatever it takes to keep improving so you can be your very best. No matter what challenges come your way, you can and will overcome all obstacles by having the right mental disposition. The most meaningful path in life is certainly never the easiest, but some people would rather avoid challenges when faced with a dire situation instead of attacking it head-on. Life is all mental, and this is where all victories are won.

In reality, when you evade a situation, you are limiting your willpower to grow and to expand yourself mentally. So what do you do? You go on the offensive and take control of your life since your mind controls your physical state. Over the years, there have been a lot of mental walls built up that have defined your life up to this point, but there is always a way to overcome them all.
