What Stops Us from Being Free?

Breaking Free from Our Limitations

We are all free men, but we are not free to break the chains that we have forged ourselves.

Haile Selassie

The yearning for freedom is a shared sentiment. Unbeknownst to many, we often impose limitations on ourselves, unwittingly restricting our own freedom. We often chase an illusory freedom, believing it lies in external factors like wealth, status, or possessions. Yet, true freedom transcends mere acquisition; it's an internal state of being. It's about letting go of the very things that keep us trapped in a cycle of limitations.

Our unconscious mind shapes our decisions and actions, sometimes limiting our freedom before we even realize it. It defaults to what's familiar and comfortable, even if it means staying stuck.

Ways to Break Free From Limitations

Breaking free starts with awareness. By uncovering our unconscious limitations, we can dismantle the barriers holding us back.

  1. Lack of Clarity: We often lack a clear vision of what freedom truly means to us, instead adhering to societal expectations. Define your own version of freedom, break free from external influences, and set your own boundaries.

  2. Limiting Beliefs: Our thoughts and beliefs hold immense power. Identify and challenge negative beliefs that hold you back.

  3. Procrastination's Paralysis: Fear and inaction can keep us stuck. Acknowledge your fear, take small, consistent steps towards your goals, and break free from the inertia that binds you.

  4. Playing Small: Embrace your greatness! Don't settle for mediocrity. Aim high, step outside your comfort zone, and share your unique gifts with the world.

  5. The Illusion of Self-Sufficiency: Seeking help is not a weakness, it's a strength. Connect with mentors, coaches, or supportive communities to gain valuable insights and accelerate your journey.

  6. Comfort's Cage: Growth lies beyond comfort. Embrace discomfort, step into the unknown, and open yourself to new possibilities.

  7. The Tyranny of Validation: Seeking approval from others shackles your freedom. Cultivate self-acceptance, trust your inner wisdom, and make choices that align with your values.
