Do you ever really feel free....

 There is so often that I sit and find myself questioning if I really am truly free. I do not recall a time in my life where I was ever to sit down and make a decision about something without having to consult someone else over it. Right now even as I enter this into the journal I am debating on moving on from my current vehicle to something bigger more suited to me. But can I just go out and make it happen? No I have to check with others and discuss it, to me that is the biggest thing to make a person feel like they are a child not an adult. I am not even sure if I have ever been able to do anything decision wise that was about something I wanted. I am 47 now and in reality pushing into the phase of mid-life crisis mode. Do I want a sports car and a young blonde of course not but do I want to feel some level of life change and freedom to make it happen without input from others? Hell yes. I would like to move from my smaller Subaru Forester to something that also makes me feel bit more like a man. This one here is at a good deal, super clean, super nice. Has almost everything I want outside of it is white in color. But who knows maybe soon I will post again as the owner of it or post with something else...if it actually gets to happen. This is like the top of the line in terms of the model that it is. So that makes it nice for sure.

    “I want to be free to do whatever I want to do”
    Is it really achievable in life no probably not especially when you have other people in your life.

    Freedom comes in many guises:
    1. Financial Freedom
    2. Time freedom
    3. Emotional Freedom
       4. Mental/Intellectual Freedom
    5. Physical Freedom
    6. Spiritual Freedom
    7. Social Freedom
    8. Geographic Freedom
     
    Taking all of the above into consideration: Is Total Freedom Ever Achievable?

    In short: Not really — at least not in the absolute sense. This is due to trade offs. To get one freedom you must sacrifice another. For instance you want financial freedom. That often requires work and discipline, which limits time freedom.
      We live in interconnected societies. Our freedom inevitably impacts others. For example, freedom of speech doesn’t include inciting violence.
     Biological and physical constraints will always exist.
    I guess some people do reach a high level of freedom
    people live lives where they feel free — financially secure, emotionally balanced, spiritually fulfilled.
    Freedom often comes from within. Philosophers like the Stoics believed that true freedom is mastering how you respond to life, not controlling life itself.

    Total freedom in the purest sense may be a myth — but meaningful freedom is very real and attainable. It’s often a balance, a journey, and a practice rather than a destination.

I don't know...

So my mind lately has been just in turmoil over something that most think about or maybe they don't. For me it is the lack of knowing who I am. Let me explain when I was younger you were just a kid a person who did very little and had fun. But as I am older now all I do too often is spend time not having any idea of who I am. Why am I here? What is my purpose? Where do I belong? And let me stop now and say to anyone reading this, no this is not some cry for religious help or meaning in life. I kind of live in the mindset that what one does defines them and makes them who they are. By that alone, I am nobody. I struggle in my life to find what makes me...me. Just working and doing nothing when I am not working is no real purpose of existing. I often get that never enough feeling as well like no matter what I might find that gives me my identity is never enough. Almost like thinking to myself well if it is something I can't do all the time then why bother at all? I just wish I kn...

  For a while now things are just becoming more and more exhausting. Not just physically but more on the emotional, mental side of it all. I feel often that anything or anytime I need to make some manner of change in life. It is met with resistance from others. I have never been one to tell anyone no when they bring up something they feel they should or need to do. If it will make them happy or feel better about themselves. But when I do it and I need to do something to make myself feel like what I do has a reason or purpose it is usually met with, "let's wait until..." If you have anyone in your life who is ever not themselves, feeling like they are not happy. And they ever say anything about wanting to make a change, you let them do it. Do not give excuses why they should not. This person is usually feeling alone and secluded from life. And any attempt made to reverse that feeling needs to be encouraged and not stomped on until it suits someone else's needs. I have ...

Entitled..

  I have noticed more and more in general terms that people are becoming more and more entitled. Does not matter what it is they will go right to bashing a business, person if they do not get what they want right away. Anytime lately when I browse the reviews for a business or a car dealership. All the ones that are super negative are all over issues that are minor and over reacted to. Like if a person goes to a dealer to view a vehicle only to find out it has been sold and they did not have enough time to go online and remove it from the site. That person then will write a massive review saying they are the biggest con artists, etc. Then you have the person with horrible credit and no down payment will rip them for not letting them just drive off the lot with it. I feel like more and more as a society we are all just assuming everything is just owed to us for existing. Often times if I want something or go to find something and it is not able to be, then I am like well that sucks....
