The burden of freedom is heavy. Because freedom comes with trust – a trust that comes of keeping your promises.

No matter what hang-ups you have, no matter that you don’t know how to do a task at this point in time, no matter that you are not disciplined, no matter that you are forgetful, late or anything else you ought not to be, all these will need to change.

1. You need to make yourself do the things you don’t really want to do.

2. On days that you don’t want to make yourself get out of bed.

3. You need to go out of your way to perform actions that benefit others.

4. To think of what the other person expects of you. To foresee people’s requirement before they do so themselves.

5. You put yourself in the other person’s shoes. And you deliver more than the promise you’ve made.

6. To think constantly of what’s in the best interest of all. Not merely, the gain you get. Or the easy way you can have. Or the obstacles you need to overcome – including those within you.

7. To make a promise of performance and deliver on that performance. Consistently. Day in and day out – without respite.

Now, you would have earned the trust of the other. And the Freedom. Because you have delivered as you had promised.

You earn the freedom to do things, in your time and to continuously better the way you do things. This freedom allows you to live your dreams and your life. You are no longer bound to the rigorous schedules – physical and mental – imposed by others.

The most important reason of all – This freedom gives you a chance to discover yourself.
