Freedom


Freedom cannot be given, taken away or earned. All of us are born free no matter which gender, age, nationality or culture we belong to! 

Whether you are a home

maker waiting to take that long awaited solo trip or a passionate lover who is fighting with his parents to marry the person you love instead of arranged marriage or a creative person with a lot of inputs waiting to put your point across in the meeting in front of everyone; in all these scenarios you feel that your responsibilities, your burdens, parents, or your colleagues are stopping you, but if we think deeper we will realize it is our own fear which is taking away our freedom. 

Freedom cannot be completely embraced until you say goodbye to your fear.’

The famous advertisement ‘Dar ke aage jit hai’ should have been actually ‘Dar ke aage freedom aur growth hai’. Because any victory or success can’t be guaranteed, but being obsessed with it can surely keep us away from many lessons of life. 

Being raised with the motto of being successful or doing things perfectly and being scolded when we did something wrong has taken away our natural freedom of making mistakes. Do you remember riding your bike for the first time or requesting your parents for a pocket money or approaching your crush or giving that public speech in school or giving the first interview of your life?

The truth is all of these things had a risk of failure but the beautiful fact is that you made an attempt anyway, you chose freedom to give yourself an opportunity to make a mistake. 

That’s what matters to learn and grow, so why do we chase success or victory? Shouldn’t we chase freedom?  Freedom to live the way we want, to speak our heart out and to make mistakes freely!
