In this episode, we delve into the concept of personal independence. We start by acknowledging that most of us don't have the level of independence we desire and that it's time to redefine what it truly means. Personal independence is about having the freedom to live life on our own terms and creating the life we want. Instead of merely being satisfied with the stories of others, we should begin writing our own myth. I share my own list of aspirations, which includes hiking the Appalachian Trail, traveling to Greece, exploring South America, and immersing myself in the ancient ruins. The key here is to not only write down our dreams but to also take the necessary action to make them a reality. We often tend to view external factors like governments or bosses as oppressors, but in reality, we are often the ones holding ourselves back. True freedom is not granted willingly; it must be demanded. In today's world, we have become our own worst oppressors, and it's time for us to demand more from ourselves. True independence and freedom can only be achieved by doing what is right for our own personal story. We encourage listeners to examine their own situations, determine what is right for them, and take the necessary steps to make it happen. By doing so, we can create genuine independence in our lives and strive to do good work.
