Being Truly Free is About...

How many times have you thought your way out of taking action?

How many times have you convinced yourself that you are not ready?

And how many times have you regretted not taking an action when it was time for you to do it?

If this is you then read carefully...

You probably are not ready.

You're probably not prepared.

No matter how easy an action is you can probably come up with a rationalization to not do it.

But how has that backward rationalization been working for you?

How's being a smartass working for you?

If it's working alright then keep it up, keep being a smartass.

For the rest of us that have any self awareness, read further.

You see,

It doesn't matter whether you're ready or not because you lose sight of the bigger picture.

Your failure today won't even bother you in the grand scheme, in fact it's only going to serve as feedback which will help you grow. (If you read my previous blog about inaction, you understand what I'm saying)

So give yourself permission to be free of outcome.

If you succeed in your action, great!

If you don't, that's feedback.

You are a tiny blip in the passage of time.

You have 70-80 healthy years...

And you're constantly trying to find ways to sabotage yourself.

Wasting time, coming up with excuses, being lazy...

Don't lose sight of the bigger picture. The bigger picture is who you could be.

In fact it's who you should be.

Let go of your need to do everything right as if your shit doesn't stink.

Let go of your need to be liked by everyone all the time.

Maybe you think they'll humiliate you for failing.

And maybe they will.

But so what!

A lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of the sheep because none of their opinions matter in the grand scheme.

Overcome the fear of being humiliated.

Being this uptight doesn't really help you in the bigger picture.

I understand your need to be successful in your attempts at doing anything.

But it only holds you back.

So if a frame of mind is not helping you progress then you have to reject it and try a better one.

One such frame is...

Freedom from outcome.

Adopting this frame has only helped me become better.

And what works for me, I prescribe it to you.

Afterall, that's why you read my blogs right?

On my birthday today, I'm just reminded of how fast time flies.

We only have finite time on this planet, don't lose sight of the bigger picture.

The world is in dire need of legends, allow yourself to become one.

See ya!
