Firewood is burning in the stove, a hot flame is buzzing, smoke is escaping from the chimney. The smoke is free! Everything else turns to ash. What should a person get rid of in order to escape from the cramped furnace and become free?
Paradoxically, but first of all, in order to become free, a person must get rid of himself. From those complexes that eat away at the soul. Nothing binds a person like dissatisfaction with himself. “I cannot do this, I don’t have enough talent, I’m insane, ugly, lazy …” - all these characteristics limit freedom of action. They create a fear of failure. It's easier to do nothing, not to take risks. As soon as a person gets rid of his own fears, gives up cherishing his imperfection, believes in the value of his personality, he will take a giant step towards freedom. Each person is given the opportunity to choose by fate, but for some reason not everyone wants or knows how to use this opportunity. Of course, it is much easier to come captive to the illusion that nothing depends on you and everything is already a foregone conclusion. Why is freedom of choice important? The ability to let go of unpleasant commitments and do what you enjoy. And this does not mean that chaos should come when everyone is free. On the contrary, a wise choice will always lead a person to a civilized solution to problems. For example, if you have a choice to go to work or stay on the couch, it would be wiser to go to work, because lying on the couch, firstly, is boring, and secondly, you can die of hunger. Again, using the freedom of choice, you can find a job that suits you, interesting and well-paid. And do not say that this is impossible, there is always a choice, and as soon as you gain freedom of choice, you will immediately cease to depend on circumstances. Whatever conditions life sets you, you can always choose the right and convenient path. It turns out that as soon as a person loves himself, learns to choose, he will do what he really likes, without harming others, he will become really free.
