Essential Basics to Find Harmony, Peace and Freedom in Life

Essential basics to find harmony, peace, and freedom in life.

What does freedom in life mean? Welcome to this first “real” post. The idea is to find the harmony that we all deserve in our lives. It is not a manual since we are all different and will all be facing different challenges. What applies to us all, however, is that life is too short not to give us the privilege to enjoy it every day.

To all of you who will follow this blog, I promise you many views and tips based on a long career on two different continents. I have had the opportunity to live in six different countries, speak different languages, and understand the varieties of different cultures and the corresponding consequences that entail living in harmony and peace with others and with myself.

Let’s go for freedom in Life

Before starting this blog, I made a commitment to myself, which is ultimately a very serious commitment to you.

The content must be useful. In no way will you find a historical description of my personal life, but yes, I will use my experience as a platform to give away tips that can serve you and certainly indicate errors that I’ve done and do not want you to repeat.
A new post every 5 days. We all assimilate better any information if it is published on a regular basis. So the next posts would be on the 19th of April, on the 24th of April, and so on.

Further, you are all invited to exchange ideas and experiences. On this journey, we will now be starting together. There are no wrong answers. Everything is valid because each situation is unique and forms part of a complete set of different events. If you wish, you can make comments right here, and they will be published among the rest of the comments on this blog. Or, if you prefer, you can communicate more privately by using the message form you can find here.

Life-Race for Freedom in Life

When we were kids and they asked us what we wanted to be as grown-ups, we never turned our fantasy down. Our responses were always clear and concise, and we even replied with a loud and firm voice: fireman, doctor, police, nurse, baker… our imagination and creativity didn’t have limits.

The other day, I heard an anecdote in which the parents told their son from an early age that when he grew up, he had to be very happy. The boy took seriously his parents’ message and took it with him as a guide for his life.

Freedom in life is about being happy

Starting in school, in one of the first classes, the teacher asked all students what they would like to be as grown-ups. The answers were all already well-known, fireman, nurse…, and when the turn came to “our child,” he said with a lot of pride and self-confidence:

– “When I grow up, I want to be happy!” the teacher made a face of surprise and answered
– “I think that you have not understood the question.” Fast as lightning, the boy responded
– “I think that you have not understood life.”

Can you guess the name of that boy?… John Lennon.

This is what life is all about finding happiness so that each day will be a positive and pleasant memory. Happy day!

We all have a passion for something. It can be a passion we have had since childhood or something we have developed along the way. No matter what your case is, the important thing is that you feel passionate about something and that this passion has a privileged place in your life. All this plays a significant part in the search for harmony.

Freedom

Now we’ve talked enough a lot about harmony and peace… and freedom… where does it come in?
Liberty ; (or Freedom, a more common word) is the quality individuals have to control their actions.

That is really a strong definition! The somewhat provocative question will be: Do we always have this quality to control our actions, or could it be that different circumstances and conditions often turn down this desired “control”?

I’ll ask you to do a little exercise before continuing. It will be in two parts, and the first part is to write down on paper, or if you prefer, on your iPad, computer, or Smartphone, with large and visible letters:

My passion is: …………….. Attention!

It has to be your true passion which you would like to practice every day for the rest of your life if possible. Try your best to define your passion objectively without influences from friends, family, fashion trends, etc.

Marathon running is one of my life passions, requiring a lot of discipline and determination to dedicate the necessary time and the indispensable willingness to apply for a tough training program. Therefore, my Digital lifestyle has greatly helped me enjoy the necessary flexibility in life.

Freedom in life depends on the degree of your passion

Many years ago, when I was studying economics at University, one of my studying fellows had an impressive passion for something, so it was completely impossible not to notice that this was his real passion.

He loved railroad trains. I knew all the different types of trains and locomotives that existed at that time. What most impressed me was that he knew by heart the complete itineraries for all trains in the country. It was a book of some 500 pages. Of course, we checked him out because it was too much to be true. We searched for the strangest routes in the itinerary book to check him out, and yes, he left us with open mouths. That is a real and true passion.

Passion

The second part is to define: What I need to be able to accomplish (if still not doing it) or practice more of my passion:…

What’s interesting is the analysis of the second part of the exercise. Some responses that always come out are time and money. Think of my friend from the trains. With pure and true passion, he managed what, for him, was the ultimate in life. I’d like to share with you the results of this little exercise.

If money, time, or both hinder me from exercising my life passion, giving me peace and harmony, then the logic says that I should strive for more money and time. Now the task starts to become a little bit more complicated. Without diving into each person´s personal life, which for sure is different from person to person, the question to answer is: how do you get more time and money or anything else that popped up in your own analysis?

There are two essential variables among what must be done to achieve the goals in life. The first is a real desire. That means we are willing to make sacrifices in life to achieve our true desires.

How much are you willing to fight for freedom in life?

Throughout this blog, I will give several examples of when I was able to personally achieve my desires come true, firstly because it was a real desire, and once and for all, I´ll have to confess that yes, I had to make many sacrifices to achieve my goals. In the second place, a realistic plan can impossibly be missing to make my real desire achievable. What does “realistic” mean? It must be a feasible plan possible to carry out.

Throughout this blog, I will give several examples of when I was able to achieve my desires coming true personally. First, it was a real desire. Once and for all, I´ll have to confess that I had to make many sacrifices to achieve my goals. Second, a realistic plan must be in place to make my real desire achievable. What does “realistic” mean? It must be a feasible plan that can be carried out.

It doesn’t mean that a difficult plan is not feasible. But we will fail many times on the way toward our goal. Further, a difficult plan quickly puts us in a position in which we can see for ourselves whether our desire is true or not. If I surrender in front of the first obstacle, chances are that I don’t have a true desire.

You need to implement a number of other activities, including discipline, persistence, tracking, communication, analysis, and self-criticism.

One of the world’s famous entrepreneurs (I don’t remember who) said something like:
“The difference between the impossible and the possible solution is time. The impossible tends to take a little bit more time to have the solution. “
