Boundary of Freedom!

December 25, 2010

We all come across many Freedom Fighters like the ones below – within ourselves and/or around us

“I would like to start my own business, because I want Freedom!” – standard reply from dreaming entrepreneur enthusiasts!

“I do not want to leave my job and start a business because I will not have any Freedom from work!” – standard excuse from cubical emperors!

“I would like to take a break in my career because, I want to experience Freedom!” –

“I do not like to marry, because I want to retain my Freedom!” – standard response from dreaming singles!

‘I would like to rent an apartment in place of buying one, because I would like to retain the Freedom!”

What is this Freedom? Is this just an immunity from an obligation or duty?

Is this freedom “from” or freedom “for” or both? Irrespective of the reason, result will be a new “boundary!” – a greatest possible degree of something one can do!

Some of us feel that freedom is being boundary less! But, Freedom & Boundary go together.That’s the paradox of life!

Freedom of a country from slavery v/s Freedom for a country to be self ruled!

Freedom from cube v/s Freedom for experimenting in open!

Freedom from loneliness v/s Freedom for leading a self directed lifestyle!

Freedom for creating a social impact like new job creation v/s Freedom from 9-5 labor!

Everything comes with own boundaries! Passion defines the drive and shifts the pivot between “from” and “for”. One anchored in the past and the other driven towards future!

Though these are just “Perspectives”, they change the impact and the drive within an individual to move/expand the boundary for a greater cause or benefit.

Future shifters and Dreamer Doers always considered Freedom “for” as the right perspective than just “from”.

Freedom comes at a price and if it is “for”, expands the boundary as well!

Year end review and plan for the next year should cover the aspect of improving the Boundary of Freedom for another successful run!

Time to get down and run “for” something than “from” it!
