Freedom is more and more a journey than a state or pursuit. Especially in a rat race, the committed ones have to run the race even when they win! Thats the beauty of commitment! Freedom is always elusive!
Running a race helps in its own way. For many, it gives the drive, motivation and a sense of superiority/achievement. Winners feel happy and run more, for more!¦ Incidentally they might move so far away from life that all they will know and can do is being a rat in the race!
Dreamer Doers in the crowd run the race a little differently. They make it a true performance a dance! They frequently sidestep and look forward! Sidestepping is a critical part of the beauty of all dance forms. It lets all parties enjoy the dance when they are on the floor not when they can not be!
In rat race, sidestepping and looking forward is critical to maintain the work-life balance! It needs courage to let others take over especially the followers! But, provides a taste of freedom – an opportunity to define, design and run a new race on own terms till others catch up!
Sidestepping is very powerful only when done gracefully, not forcefully! It is not giving up it is getting up firmly to be counted again! Else .
So inisghtful

[…] Sidestepping is an alternative to consider, when the cornerstone is found to be faulty or fragile! costly, but useful for all those who are serious about what they would like to live/stand for! […]
