What is True Freedom?

"Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich."
- Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich

True Freedom is the right of everyone. The freedom to choose and to achieve, to be free from worrying about money, to spend time as we like. Our hopes, our dreams. The question is: Are you truly free?

Let's embark on a journey as we unravel possibilities on how to become truly free and live the life of your dreams - a journey to freedom.

Are You Truly Free?

Inside Room 1313, Hotel Lafayette.
MORPHEUS: I imagine, right now, you must be feeling a bit like Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole?
NEO: You could say that.
MORPHEUS: I can see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?
NEO: No.
MORPHEUS: Why not?
NEO: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.
MORPHEUS: I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you are here... You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You felt it your entire life. Like there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
NEO: The Matrix.
MORPHEUS: Do you want to know what it is? The Matrix is everywhere, it's all around us, even here in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
NEO: What truth?
MORPHEUS: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage. Born inside a prison that you cannot smell, or taste, or touch. A prison for your mind.

Have you ever asked yourself this: Am I truly free? Or were you only led to believe so?

It has been 5 years already since I first realized that I was living inside a real-world Matrix. We all do. Really? You might think that I'm crazy, that I'm only pulling your leg. Far from it.

Let me illustrate by asking you a few personal questions:

  • Would you like to achieve financial freedom and independence?
  • Are you tired of the old system? Do you want to live on your own terms?
  • Does the clock dictate your life? Would you want to lead a more stress-free and peaceful life?
  • Do you want to maximize your freedom of choices instead of your budget always limiting you?
  • Would you want to take control of your financial future?
If you answered "yes" to any of the questions, then I think that you are also like me, seeking freedom. Either consciously or subconsciously, we all desire to be free. That desire, that yearning within us is an indication that we are not living the lives that we actually want. It's like there is an invisible prison, keeping us confined to just where we are. This leads us to a lot of questions like: "What is real freedom?" and "How can we achieve true freedom?". Do read these articles and let me show you "how deep the rabbit hole goes."

I also prepared a short checklist to gauge your level of present freedom. Invest some time on answering it honestly as it may let you realize where you are now compared to where you really want to be.
