Allowing Ourselves the Freedom to Desire

Many may not have taken the time out to think of what it is that truly makes them happy.  Some may even think that they don’t deserve what it is they want or that they don’t have what it takes to reach a set goal.  Others may not want to truly admit what it is that they desire for fear of judgment or fear that they will never get what they want. But making such an admission gives a sort of freedom within a world of many restrictions.  I think Bob Marley said it best when he said “emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.”  Of course he was speaking to a specific demographic about specific issues, but our minds are the keys to achieve all that we desire.  There are no limits, except for the limits we give ourselves.

An inhibition is “something that forbids, debars, or restricts.”  “An inner impediment to free activity, expression, or functioning as a mental process imposing restraint upon behavior or another mental process (as a desire).”  It is a figment of our imagination.  Where and how do we develop these inhibitions? How can we break free to get what it is that we truly desire?  Once we take the time out to decide what it is that we want out of life and dedicate ourselves to achieving that goal, nothing will stand in our way.  A desire fueled by enough passion and dedication will allow one to enjoy the  journey just as much as the destination.

So do yourself a favor and ask yourself “what is it that I truly desire?”  You may be surprised by what you can actually get.
