Freedom isn't FREE!

Liberate Yourself

What is Freedom?

As I look at the events of the world over the past few days, I've witnessed the passing of two icons. The first person, Paul Walker (age 40), was an American actor who has played many roles in American movies, but was particularly known as one of the stars in the Fast and Furious franchise series. The shooting of the 7th installment (Fast & Furious) was currently being filmed when Paul's death occurred. The second person, Nelson Mandela (age 95), was not an American actor, but was famous nonetheless internationally as an African that fought against apartheid. Nelson Mandela was famous internationally because he believed in something, went to jail for it for many years, and was ultimately released. He didn't escape jail, nor did he change his beliefs to acquire freedom, because he was willing to die for it. How many of us would take a stand of that nature on anything, knowing that death was inevitable?

The path of these men never crossed but they both believed in the same things. One of those things was freedom. I didn't know until Paul Walker untimely death that he is the owner of a charitable foundation called "REACH OUT Worldwide " which he was en route to as a passenger of the vehicle that caught fire.  REACH OUT Worldwide  ROWW is a network of professionals with first responder skill-sets who augment local expertise when natural disasters strike in order to accelerate relief efforts. Paul's belief was simple; "When you put goodwill out there, it's amazing what can be accomplished."

Nelson Mandela was a leader in South Africa in the country's struggle for freedom and human rights. He was imprisoned in 1964 after being arrested and charged with sabotage, specifically a campaign against the country's power grid, and plotting to overthrow the government. No one was injured in the sabotage campaign. He was released in 1990, at age 71. He was elected president of South Africa in 1994, in the country’s first full and free elections, and served until 1999.

Did You Know?

Mandela’s political party, the African National Congress, a terrorist group, and Mandela’s name remained on the U.S. terrorism watch list till 2008.

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." (From Long Walk to Freedom, 1995)

So, what is freedom? Is it the ability to do what you want when you want?  Is going to work and punching a clock from 9 to 5 really ECONOMIC freedom? Many of us willfully participate as wage slaves in the world today by choosing the supposedly comforts and security of a job and a paycheck. I'm not against that, I just believe that true FREEDOM is achieved through one's own merits and efforts. This is why I applaud the millions of individuals who decide to take up the fight to liberate oneself from economic slavery by having a business of some type.

So my challenge to you, is to liberate yourself from your boss and create your own path to financial freedom. Create additional streams of income and educate yourself and always STRIVE to do better by enhancing the lives of others. This, my friend, is what freedom is. The liberation of self and others.

To your Success!
