REALIZATION
Being yourself is important, but knowing
yourself is even more important.
Discovering yourself can only be done
after taking some quiet time to think and
assess your life. Many people don’t take

your passion throughout your life will
make you a happy and healthier person.
Passion produces effort, and continuous
effort produces results.
Understanding what you're good at and
our interested in, makes discovering
your goals much easier to discover.
Once you've finally discovered why your
goals are what they are, you can look
further inwards and see what gifts you
bring to the world.
FREEDOM
Always keep in-mind that your passions
and goals will change over time. This is
a natural process, and something that
shouldn't be feared. While your goals
and passions develop, you'll clear the
fog that often clogs up people's minds
when considering their goals.
We determine our own social and
personal worth based off of how we
see ourselves stacked up against
others we view as either better or
worse. Common comparisons are
referred to as upward social
COMPARISON comparisons or downward social
comparisons. Comparing yourself to
others can be good or bad it can
motivate you, inspire or drive you to
make improvements and changes in
your own life.
Freedom, generally, is having the ability
to act or change without constraint.
Something is "free" if it can change
easily and is not constrained in its
present state. A person has the freedom
to do things that will not, in theory or in
practice, be prevented by other forces.
Freedom is the transformative power to
determine our own destiny. With it, we
can create a meaningful life, a life that
will command our energy, our utility, our
conviction, our uniqueness with a fierce
intelligence, forthrightness and
resilience.
Without it, suppressed by life’s hurts,
we can turn our voice in on itself and go
round and round in our head: exiling
ourselves to an isolated, suffering filled
experience of being in the world and
fantasizing about a miracle that would
set us down into the dream life we had
imagined for ourselves. But freedom
doesn’t live in psychologistic illusions. It
lives in our autonomy.
Like intending intention to intend on
itself, autonomy is about appearing in
the affirmative, driving our self-creation,
speaking to be, pulling ourselves up in
bursts of energy, harmoniously,
dangerously, serenely, excitingly. This
is our means to acquiring the power of
freedom and for using it wisely.
