Total freedom

Every human has  freedom of choice, which is the most basic freedom a human can have. The struggle to obtain true happiness relies on this freedom. We choose to have a mind set on happiness and growth, we choose what we take out of a situation we are faced with, the bad or the good. When life offers us deals, we still have the freedom to choose, and life gives you both the bad and good, we just need to carefully choose what to take out of it. The choice needs to be guided by purified senses and to do that, we need to follow the universal order which is in love. That way, we eliminate the miseries of our lives.

FREEDOM IS YOURS

Pretoria has offered so many lessons, from the day I got into the taxi in Cape town to the rough streets of Joburg and finally to the dramatic alliance of the family squabbles. I can’t say it’s been a sweet ride, in fact, it’s been one bumpy ride that required an in depth searching of self. I had to leave a comfort zone and get to a suffer zone, and trust me, the trip to suffer zone is as hectic as the zone itself. Not to mention that when you get to suffer zone you need to transform it into a new comfort zone and it’s just all frustrating to tell you the least.

When all of this happens, it may start to feel like you’re losing it, not only your freedom, but your entire mind. To be honest with you, I felt like I was too, but the key is the mind. If your mind can’t withstand the suffering, them you start to lose your freedom, you allow circumstances to rule your life, you are just in a stagnant position that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.  You are always tired and your mind does not make the greatest asset to give out to the offer life gives you. You simply can’t separate the bad from the good, you are just floating through life without any sense of direction.

I could have given it all up, the writing, interacting with friends and family because it seemed like I was not getting my worth even though I was [in my mind] giving out the most. But that was not the case, I realized the  mind doesn’t only unlock the thought and speech but it also included action. Action which is guided by the universal laws, and the reason it felt like I was not moving is because I was in a prison of my own making, stripping myself the most basic freedom I had: CHOICE

CHOOSE

But I knew something is got to give, I started focusing on my own self first, and doing the things that mattered the most to me mchana, like writing and of course exploring my options when it comes to interacting with family and friends and, from that I realised I am not always  looking at situations with the good mentality, I need to realize people are also imperfect as much as I might be imperfect.

I began to look for the good in my situation, guided by the love within me and mchana, it’s starting to be a little bit clear, I am not fully there, but I am getting there. My spirit feels lighter, I am enjoying time with family, my suffer zone is slowly becoming my comfort zone.

Travel with me in this journey mchana, don’t lose faith in your abilities, there’s a lot you can achieve if you have confidence in you. Be you and remember you have the choice, so make the good choice and just be happy mchana.
