What does FREEDOM mean to you?

   Adam Baker has a Ted talk discussing the importance of freedom.  What does freedom mean to you? This discussion talks about the vicious cycle of what Robert Kiyosaki states is the rat race of life.  Debt has completely consumed our nation.  Want proof?  Look at the current debt of the United States!

Many are so consumed with student loans, house loans, car loans, credit cards, and other forms of debt that all it would take is for one serious incident or emergency to throw off the balance, that would have them treading water and reaching for a life preserver.

Adam Baker gives us a different perspective on this so called freedom that we are given in our grand country of the US.  His example of his own family circumstances gives us a clear vision of what the truthful realities that many of us are facing today.  The wakeup call of 18 grand of debt came to full force the day that they took their baby girl home from the hospital.  It made them rethink their life strategies and where they wanted to go.

Freedom to them was to trade their "stuff" for experiences.  One may consider selling all that one owns to travel across the world crazy.  Although this might seem extreme to someone, one might want to consider what would truly make them happy for the rest of their lives and WHAT is holding them back from that happiness.  Debt seems to be the underlying factor for the answer to this.

Freedom is something our forefathers fought for years ago.  How are we using it?  Are we sitting around, going to work, to buy things, and going into debt, or are we living our life with freedom and zest, enjoying every minute of the day and every experience that we are apart of?

So what is the solution?  Ask yourself, if you could do absolutely anything in the world for the rest of your life what would it be?  Also ask yourself if you are living life that way to your fullest potential NOW?  If not, how can you change that?  Do you want to?  When one wants something so bad that they can taste it, thats half the battle.  The other half, is the action.  Doing something about it.

Do you dream of owning a successful business?  Dreams of traveling the world?  Dreams of making a true difference in this world?  Well let me tell you, its attainable.  It first starts with changing your thinking.  YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN.  Your drive to start will begin your journey, and then you surround yourself around the people that will inspire you, encourage you, and help you push yourself to that PLACE of what FREEDOM means to you.  When times get tough, distractions will kick in and other circumstances change that may bounce you off the path.  EVALUATE everything and ask yourself if it follows suite with those goals you so do desire.  If not, TAKE CHARGE of your actions and LOOK to where you are going.

Adam Baker sums this TedX video of challenging us to STOP living life by the SCRIPT.  Have a moment of clarity, step back and analyze your life for just a few brief moments.  Find what defines freedom for YOU because "That is an idea worth sharing".

I also want to take the time to encourage you.  If you are consumed with debt and don't see financial freedom to live the life that you want to live, there is HOPE.  Take a few moments to watch this short video clip of the company that I currently work for, Primerica, be inspired, and give me a call.  I am calling you to ACTION today, because action is the first step to gaining that FREEDOM you desire.
