Freedom

When you are held in bondage to your body, it doesn’t matter where you go. You will remain in the same place mentally. This isn’t true freedom, but rather when we break the ties that bind us to our body, we can truly become free. That’s why it is essential to be conscious of the fact that your mind is the ultimate source of your freedom, and only you can give yourself this freedom. Sometimes our minds set up boundaries and limits on what we believe we can do, so it’s important to understand you are capable of more than you think.

“An important place to begin in philosophy is this: a clear perception of one’s own ruling principle.” EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES , 1.26.15
