Can not wait to write...set it free!

Here I am...with my second post! And doing it happily. I may admit I was looking forward to write this post last few hours. I may admit it is a very good sign, indeed!

I had few topics I really wanted to write about, but as usual I never write what I plan to write. I love to write what hits my mind at the moment I'm typing. Not a good way to express what you really want to express, but it shows how many different areas the human mind is able to touch within a very short period of time. Some may call this kind of mind for a  disturbed-mind(?), I prefer to call it freedom!

Freedom to think, be and do what you want to do. Yesterday I briefly touched the topic that many of us are busy with everyday stuff, that we can tend to forget our life. Simply because we are forced to do or happily do things which has become "normal" in our society. Because 100 millions of people are doing or living in a way does not mean that it is the right way. Be free within myself is a goal I have set for few years ago. Somehow each of us grew up influenced by the parents, the relatives, the friends, the community and the ideologies ruling the countries.
We have been taught to follow a path in many areas of our lives otherwise we would not be accepted. People who have been forced to take a decision against what is "normal" in their society would nod their head if I say that they have been on a path for a very long time just because their decision on changing the path and walk against the direction would activate a wave of shock and disapproving comments from their familiar surroundings like family, friends and even unknown people.

Real freedom is when you take the very first step on a path you really would love to walk on without a single disturbing thought about what the neighbour's dog, cat or bird would mind about your decision. Just imagine the freedom of doing whatever you really want to do without thinking a second thought of your current financial situation, family, friends, health and you name it?! That would be real freedom - of course limited by a single rule saying "...as long as you don't hurt other people in any ways."
Or should it be freedom without any limits - simply because when do we actually hurt other people? How do we know the difference between hurting/not hurting other people by our actions?

What I'm trying to say is that the bottom line here is: we limit ourselves from real freedom by setting rules which at the end do not exist. We set the rules, and limit ourselves from real freedom.
Let me finish with:
What is done with our heart can only be the right step we ever can take.Or as Jaggi Vasudev has expressed more beautifully:
"Our lives become beautiful not because we are perfect. Our lives become beautiful, because we put our heart into what we are doing."

Today's person is simply Buddha (Siddhaarta Gautama Buddha).
I love his simple way of defining our mind: "What you think you become!"
