Having no master

When you're asking for freedom, you must first give yourself freedom.

That's the way it goes. Usually yourself is the first person that keeps you trapped and doesn't let you be totally (or even in a good percent) free! It's hard, because sometimes you may not even realize how much do you suppress your own self. It might be the way you were raised, the environment you live in, the way you live your life, or a combination of all these.

Your way to freedom starts with a simple question: " what do I really want?".

The procedure of getting what you really want may break your bones a little bit (or a lot), the changes may be big, you may learn to react differently in certain situations and even stand up to yourself and others when needed in order to reach your goal.

Plus, you must be prepared to lose some people (or set them aside, it depends on your point of view). While going for what you really want, you put everything into perspective and you may realise that you don't want some types of behavior in your life.

While changing yourself and your life, the dynamics of your relationships with others are going to change as well (with some, the changes will come naturally and with some others are going to be your own choices). And that's basically the next step of freeing yourself! Being as free as you can from others. There comes a moment when you feel like you have no master, you need no bossy figure in your close circle of family and friends. And that no one is better on telling you what you want and what you need than yourself. You should be prepared for a few loses at this point. But it's ok, you can live without anyone that you think of as necessary right now. Freedom and the change you need to reach it take a lot of strength and inner will. Basically is a procedure of reaching your truth and finding your balance in your relationships with others and the whole world.

The only difference is that you can taste freedom and you're totally your own boss! 

Well done (for now)!
