How to be masters of our life?
How to be masters of our life?
This could be a good question to start working on our theme today, because I have always believed that God made us free, he gave us autonomy, the free will to take control of our lives. If God made us free it is because he knows that we can take care of ourselves and it is our responsibility to take care of our freedom.
Today there are many things that put our freedom at risk, social pressures is one of many that do not let us live happily; people want to rule you and tell you what to do, where to go, what to say. Without going very far in our family they always tell us in the name of love to do this or that, to be as they want us to be and do not let us form our own personality; if we talk about the pressure of the government I could tell you that in my country this government wants us as a robot, that we follow every day doing what they tell us and nothing else. Another risk factor for our freedom are the social networks, they want you to live as they want, many people in this world want to criticize you, criticize your life and hurt you no matter what, so I invite you not to give importance to this, get that strength that is in you and do not give your freedom and your happiness for a like or a dislike.
You are free and you can manage yourself as long as you do it in the midst of morality, ethics and legality. Be yourself, from faith, from values.
Being free means being responsible and there are many who prefer to be slaves so as not to assume the risks that this implies. There are many who confuse freedom with licentiousness and that is where they make many mistakes. This is the case of people who indulge in vice, another factor that puts your freedom at risk, vice has destroyed wonderful homes because when you started in this you did not get the brakes to stop and then you want others to be responsible for the mistake that you and only you made.
How beautiful is freedom, how beautiful it is that I myself can shape my future, but to be able to "be free" I have to know and be aware that there are requirements to be met. There are things that no one can do for you, for example loving yourself, that is something that only you can do and it is not someone else's responsibility. That is why I invite you to make an inventory of what you have and what you are, so you will know if you meet the requirements to face X task successfully.
If we want to be part of those people who make a difference you have to give results, if you follow good methods or strategies you can get a reward that in the end will make you feel happy and will make you feel free. To form a prominent future I can work on acquiring new resources to train myself, further develop the resources I already have and get together with people who will teach me.
Enjoy what you achieve every day, celebrate every triumph, do not feel sorry, do not feel that you are not humble, not at all, enjoy what you do well, for that you are free. Acknowledge the people who help you, who take care of you, be grateful for everything that other people have contributed to your life. It is important to transcend and have a good relationship with God, prayer, meditation, living the sacraments is fundamental, everything is possible if you are with him, so strive, fight, God will always be watching over you to help you.
Good reflection, you're right. We have to celebrate all our triumphs. And being grateful to others for me is one of the keys to happiness. :)
