Get educated 2. Get a job 3. Get into debt 4. Buy a house 5. Buy a car6. Get married7. Have 2 kids 8. Retire at the age of 60 These aren't all the steps of course but you get the picture. This isn't realistic.This isn't life, life is about living not working to enjoy just a slice of life at the end. Live fully daily

(M)ediocre: You are just surviving your ordinary, comfortable  life  (O)bedient: You're the sheep following the herd not thinking for yourself, trusting governments and news(D)pendant: You are owned and dependent on others.(E)entertained: You consume useless, mind-numbing content, not generate original ideas.(L)lifeless: You have allowed the world to drown your ambitions and aspirations

The M.O.D.E.L citizen 

Break away from the chokehold of society.Freedom is achieved by developing a plan that follows specific guidelines. Freedom has different meanings to different people.But the ultimate goal is to TAKE BACK CONTROLA GUIDELINE FOR HOW YOU COULD SET UP YOUR BUSINESS • Control - Be your Boss •  Entry -  High barrier of entry for others makes you more valuable •  Need -  Do people need what you are selling?•  Time - Your business should be able to function without you• Scale - Can your business grow and how big?

Freedom

Make taking action part of your lifestyle.Whatever it is you feel drawn to, GO FOR IT.• ASK FOR FORGIVENESS, NOT FOR PERMISSIONAlways question your beliefs and approach everything you do with a BEGINNER'S MINDSET - stay forever curious • Know the goal, but focus and enjoy the journey.• The journey is about BECOMING not just being

BE ACTIVE

What if Life Wasn't About 50 Years of Wage-Slavery, Paying Bills and then Dying? Tired of sleepwalking through a mediocre life bribed by mindless video-gaming, redemptive weekends, and a scant paycheck from a soul-suffocating job? Welcome to the SCRIPTED club— where membership is neither perceived or consented. The fact is, ever since you’ve been old enough to sit obediently in a classroom, you have been culturally engineered for servitude, unwittingly enslaved into a Machiavellian system where illusionary rules go unchallenged, sanctified traditions go unquestioned, and lifelong dreams go unfulfilled. As a result, your life is hijacked and marginalised into debt, despair, and dependence. Life's death sentence becomes the daily curse of the trivial and mundane. Fun fades. Dreams die. Don't let life's consolation prize become a car and a weekend. Recapture what is yours and make a revolutionary repossession of life-and-liberty through the pursuit of entrepreneurship. A paradigm shift isn't needed—the damn paradigm needs to be thrown-out altogether. The truth is, if you blindly follow conventional wisdom pushed by conventional people living conventional lives, can you expect to be anything but conventional? Rewrite life’s script: ditch the job, give Wall Street the bird, and escape the insanity of trading your life away for a paycheck and an elderly promise called retirement. UNSCRIPT today and start leading life— instead of life leading you.

Freedom is my birthright. I must haveit.

The problem is not the lack of resources or capability, but the lack of will.

If God is put up with untouchability, I will not call him God.

It may be providence's will that the cause I represent may prosper more by my suffering than by my remaining free.

The geologist takes up the history of the earth at the point where the archaeologist leaves it and carries it further back into remote antiquity.

Religion and practical life are not different. To take sanyas (renunciation) is not to abandon life. The real spirit is to make the country, your family, and work together instead of working only for your own. The step beyond is to serve humanity and the next step is to serve God.

The most practical teaching of the Gita, and one for which it is of abiding interest and value to the men of the world with whom life is a series of struggles is not to give way to any morbid sentimentality when duty demands sternness and the boldness to face terrible things.

If we trace the history of any nation backwards into the past, we come at last to a period of myths and traditions which eventually fade away into impenetrable darkness

Life is all about a card game. Selecting the right card is not in our hand. But playing well with the cards in hand determines our success.

Bal Gangadhar Tilak

I like to think of Tilak as a programmer. He is not too glamourous but he knows how to manage and solve resource constraint problems. He does not think of India as HUGE as it is but he sees it using a modular approach where you need to make progress on an infinitesimal level and that is a real good win too.

Bal Gangadhar Tilak Birth Anniversary: 10 powerful quotes by Indian freedom fighter that will inspire you 

We live in an unfree world, created by our beliefs and the environments we put ourselves in. Most of us strive for more freedom in our lives and you can get it by focusing on the psychological and lifestyle shifts you need to make to get there.There are two main reasons you aren’t free:<ul><li>You aren’t aware of all the options available to you</li><li>You’ve accepted certain assumptions that restrict your freedom.</li></ul>To become freer, you need to be more aware of your options and dispense with those bad assumptions.

Freedom And Beliefs

“I’ve concentrated upon the things I control, and used that control to remove the restrictions and complications from my life.”

“The answer is simple: You are you, the person who will live with the consequences of what you do. No one else can be responsible, because no one else will experience the consequences of your actions as you will.”

“To be self-reliant is to recognize that no one else is as concerned about your future as you are and that no one knows as much about you as you do.”

“Things will get better only when you make the changes that are necessary to make them better.”

<ul><li>The belief that you should be someone other than yourself</li><li>The assumption that others will do things the way you would. You can’t control others’ natures, but you can control how you deal with them.</li></ul>

Identity Traps

<ul><li>Intellectual trap: That your emotions should conform to some preconceived standard. You’re in the Intellectual Trap if you let your intellect tell you what you should feel.</li><li>Emotional trap: The belief that you can make important decisions at a time when you’re feeling strong emotions. You can’t. You’re in the Emotional Trap if you let your emotions make important decisions for you.</li></ul>

Intellectual And Emotional Traps

<ul><li>Utopia trap: The belief that you must create better conditions in society before you can be free. You can’t change the fate of a nation, but you can do a great deal to make sure you’re not affected adversely by it.</li><li>Certainty trap: The urge to act as if your information were totally certain. You’re in the trap if you make decisions without recognizing the uncertainty of your assumptions and the risk that goes with that. There’s nothing shameful in acknowledging that you don’t have the answers to every question about life.</li></ul>

Certainty And Utopia Traps

These are unpleasant situations that restrict your freedom, that you might be afraid to get out of. They could be anyting: bad relationship, job, location, friendship. A big restriction of your freedom is the boxes you allow yourself to stay in, for fear of the work you must do to get out of them.But there are two things to recognize:<ul><li>You’re paying a price every day you remain in the box, and you need to get over the sunk cost that put you there.</li><li>There’s always a way out. You’ll have to pay a price, and that’s uncomfortable, but it’s better than continuing to pay the price of staying in the box.</li></ul>

Boxes

<ul><li>Don’t be false, or change yourself based on your environment. </li><li>What you are is the most valuable asset you possess for finding others.</li><li>To make relationships work, each person should have their time alone, their own friends and interests. </li><li>If you feel imprisoned by your parents or relatives, it is you who must make the move to be free.</li><li>Don’t overreact to a difficult relationship by destroying the good parts while trying to weed out the bad. </li><li>You’re better off never worrying about small sums of money. </li><li>When you prove that you’re willing to be honest, others will accept your word more easily.</li></ul>

How You Can Be Free

<ul><li>Never expect anyone to act from your knowledge, perspective, or objectives. Assume that his viewpoints will differ in some ways from yours.</li><li>Never make an important decision when your emotions are dominating your mind.</li><li>Never lie or appear to be something other than what you are.</li><li>Never invest any resource (time, money, emotional involvement) that you’re not prepared to lose.</li><li>Never take on a new responsibility, time commitment, or liability without recognizing what must be given up to accommodate it.</li><li>Always leave some free time in your schedule to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise. </li></ul>

Rules for Life (1)

<ul><li>Never use someone’s property in any way that he doesn’t approve of.</li><li>Never focus your attention on anyone’s weaknesses — his temper, sloppiness, poor logic, dishonesty, whatever. </li><li>Never quibble over a price you didn’t expect to pay. Pay it and move on to better things.</li><li>Never form a partnership (an agreement in which responsibilities or rewards will be shared) for any purpose.</li><li>Never become directly involved in violence unless it appears to be the only alternative to prevent more serious injury.</li><li>Never forsake your rules because of someone’s actions or opinions.</li></ul>

Rules for Life (2)

The purpose of knowing “truth” is to be able to make it work for you. You need the truth in order to deal with things as they are and get predictable results from them. The specific application for which you need the truth might be different from another person’s. You may want to know the truth of a particular mechanical cause-and-effect relationship so you can fix your car. Others may want that knowledge in order to build a bomb or just to maintain their image as a learned person. The principle is always the same: You want the truth so you can use it to produce a consequence you want.

Knowing The Truth

Recognize that there are such things as miracles — events for which there are no ready explanations. Later knowledge may explain those events quite easily. But at this date in history, you can’t expect to know everything that might be known eventually.

You Don’t Need An Explanation For Everything

As you view the identities of others, you make it far easier on yourself if you accept them as they are. Attempts to change others are rarely successful, and even then probably not completely satisfying. – once you understand someones identity then you understand their actions

Accepting Others

Harry Browne believed that a person's happiness is the highest goal he/she can achieve in life. Freedom comes from living your life as you see fit. Happiness and freedom are attainable even if others remain unfree, and it's never too late to change your life. "If you're not free now, it might be because you've been preoccupied with people or institutions that have restrained your freedom. I don't expect you to stop worrying about them, merely because I suggest that you do. I do hope to show you, though, that those people and institutions are relatively powerless to stop you - once you decide how you will achieve your freedom. There are things you can do to be free, and if you turn your attention to those things, no one will stand in your way. But when you become preoccupied with those who are blocking you, you overlook the many alternatives you could use to bypass them. The freedom you seek is already available to you, but it has gone unnoticed."This book identifies life's traps - unconscious thinking and habits that prevent people from being free - and explains in a language even a young person can understand how to escape these traps. It helps you navigate through life while being true to your beliefs while obtaining self-reliance, peace, freedom, prosperity, and happiness. Many who have read or listened to this book believe it's invaluable and should be required for every young person, so they can learn how to be free before others start to rule their life. Some believe it should be a required course in every high school, college, and university. Others believe every adult should try it. Still others claim it's a must for all who seek freedom. This audiobook is educational and motivational, and even if you disagree with Browne's philosophy, his logical and consistent thinking can lead you to inner discovery and profound perspectives. How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World is a book for personal liberty - one that can put you on a path to a freer and happier life.

Stashed ideas

How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World

Die to everything of yesterday so that your mind is always fresh, always young, innocent, full of vigor and passion.

Jiddu K

In seeking comfort, we generally find a quiet corner in life where there is a minimum of conflict, and then we are afraid to step out of that seclusion.

If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.

If we depend for our happiness on another, on society or on environment, they become essential to us; we cling to them, and any alteration of these we violently oppose because we depend upon them for our psychological security and comfort

To understanding what freedom is actually and life in its totality 

Born in poverty in India, Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) became a leading spiritual and philosophical thinker whose ideas continue to influence us today. George Bernard Shaw declared that he was the most beautiful human being he had ever seen and Aldous Huxley was one of his close friends. Whether debating politics with Nehru, discussing theories with Rupert Sheldrake and Iris Murdoch, or challenging his students not to take his words at face value, Krishnamurti engaged fully with every aspect of life. He is regarded by many modern religious figures as a great teacher, an extraordinary individual with revolutionary insights; Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra are all indebted to his writings. Freedom from the Known is one of Krishnamurti's most accessible works. Here, he reveals how we can free ourselves radically and immediately from the tyranny of the expected. By changing ourselves, we can alter the structure of society and our relationships. The vital need for change and the recognition of its very possibility form an essential part of this important book's message.

Freedom from the Known

Personal power is directly tied to personal responsibility, which most people avoid.

<ul><li>Kill your fear and replace it with ambition.</li><li>Immersing yourself in the present moment will make you more joyful than concentrating on the past.</li><li>An average life is not the way, focus on creating an extraordinary one instead.</li></ul>

Motivation Manifesto: Three Key Takeaways

When it comes to life, we have choices to make every day, choices that require action. However, many of us let fear take over and make those decisions for us. We become worried about what people will think, about failure, or many other factors. Then, we get disappointed with our decisions and feel as if it’s too late to change them. In such situations, our freedom feels inhibited and we become frustrated. Without personal freedom, we can’t grow or develop as people. Therefore, the only way to live your dream life and gain personal freedom is to take charge of your life and overcome fear.

Fear Can Kill Dreams

Ambition is the fuel that makes us go further and farther in life, always looking to improve it. Without it, setting and achieving goals is impossible. Ambition drives our imagination to wander and create new, exciting scenarios and goals in our minds. Then, motivation comes in. However, this one is hard to maintain. To do that, you must set a routine and be disciplined about it. Although some days you won’t feel like getting up and doing the work, pushing through will be worth it in the long run, as you’ll become motivated once again when you notice yourself not giving up.

Ambition Can Fuel Dreams

As children, our job was to explore the world and laugh as we did so. As we grow up, the task doesn’t change, it just becomes more challenging to fulfill, and so we lose our ability to keep our eyes on what’s most important – living our life.As we grow older, we learn more and more about the world, leaving behind old practices and upgrading our mindset. However, there are certain things in life that we should unlearn, or never let go of in the first place. What I mean by that is, you should reconnect with your inner child and remember how it feels to live in the moment.

Enjoy The Present Moment

Don’t let negative thoughts ruin your days. For example, if you feel like taking on a new project or doing something out of the ordinary, don’t let your fear of failure and over-realistic mind ruin it for you. Similar to a child, keep your curiosity and motivation alive, and listen to your gut. More often than not, it will guide you to your purpose and your <a href="https://fourminutebooks.com/inner-engineering-summary/">source of happiness</a>, unlike your well-trained, rational mind, who likes to follow patterns and society’s rules.

The Inner Child: Positive Thoughts

Whatever your definition of <a href="https://fourminutebooks.com/the-path-made-clear-summary/">success and fulfillment</a> looks like, it’s time for you to pursue it and do everything in your power to achieve it. Whether you’re dreaming about becoming a world-renowned artist, traveling to every country on earth, or building your own house and starting a family, go for it. Life is too short to fear living it.

A Glorious, Extraordinary Life

The key is to focus on what you’re passionate about. If you’re still trying to figure out what your burning desires are, try asking your friends or family for their opinion. When they think of you, what is it that they consider you’re great at? Discovering your talents in relation to your passion is particularly important, as it dictates the path you should take in life.

Define Your Passion

To spend the full force of our energies advancing toward Personal Freedom – the genuine life full of vibrancy and meaning – this shall be our aim.

<ol><li>Meet life with full presence and power.</li><li>Reclaim your agenda. </li><li>Defeat your demons. Don't be a slave to fear.</li><li>Advance with abandon. We must not lose the urgency of the moment.</li><li>Practice joy and gratitude. </li><li>Do not break integrity. </li><li>Amplify love. The ultimate act of courage is when we stand emotionally open and give our hearts without expectation of reciprocity or fear of hurt.</li><li>Inspire greatness. We can and must do better. Mediocrity and narcissism must not replace virtue, progress and selflessness.</li><li>Slow down time. Life is meant to be a growing mosaic of long, meaningful moments.  </li></ol>

Nine Declarations To Personal Freedom

<ol><li>Honesty. We must be uncompromising with truth and expect the same from others.</li><li>Responsibility.</li><li>Intelligence. We must learn, explore, think critically.</li><li>Excellence. We must strive for the highest levels in everything we do.</li><li>Courage. We must not let words substitute for effort.</li><li>Respect for others.</li><li>Vigilance. We must focus on the things that matter.</li><li>Service. We must direct our talent, energy and knowledge to make a difference on one another’s lives.</li><li>Unity. We must have and inspire in others tendencies toward tolerance, bonding and community.</li></ol>

Nine Virtues To Inspire Greatness

Those with a miserable attitude rarely move the needle of the world toward progress.

Live a greater, more passionate life, fearless and with freedom.

"The Motivation Manifesto is a poetic and powerful call to reclaim our lives and find our own personal freedom. It’s a triumphant work that transcends the title, lifting the reader from mere motivation into a soaringly purposeful and meaningful life. I love this book." —Paulo Coelho The Motivation Manifesto is a pulsing, articulate, ferocious call to claim our personal power. World-renowned high performance trainer Brendon Burchard reveals that the main motive of humankind is the pursuit of greater Personal Freedom. We desire the grand liberties of choice—time freedom, emotional freedom, social freedom, financial freedom, spiritual freedom. Only two enemies stand in our way: an external enemy, defined as the social oppression of who we are by the mediocre masses, and an internal enemy, a sort of self-oppression caused by our own doubt and fear. The march to Personal Freedom, Burchard argues, can be won only by declaring our intent and independence, stepping into our personal power, and battling through self-doubt and the distractions of the day until full victory is won. Recalling the revolutionist voices of the past that chose freedom over tyranny, Burchard—at times poetic yet always fierce—motivates us to free ourselves from fear and take back our lives once and for all.
