Freedom

Freedomby HawkWe are free if we eat healthy: and likewise, we are free if we remain clear. Food, when compared with drugs and alcohol, is similar by how it steals our ability to see the simple.We can enjoy the simple when we find ourselves being in control of our worldly appetites. Conversations with family and friends will take on a whole new meaning, as will the summer sunsets: because of how our minds will be free from the pull of the world. Furthermore, discipline, then, is what creates freedom and lasting happiness. If we show discipline towards those substances and things that are in the quick and immediate form, then we will likewise be made free, and will no more feel like a puppet thats strings are attached to the world. As we show discipline in one area, then another string will detach; until all are detached, and now giving us the ability to know exactly who we are--and what we are capable of in this life.Discipline takes hard work, and requires us to not be lazy. If we take care of ourselves here in the now, then we will not be in a cram for the future. Further, our learning that takes place in the clear healthy life is what leads us to living the abundant life on down the road. However, the abundant life does not come in a quick way like many would hope; it takes discipline, patience, and endurance. Just as mentioned earlier: anything that comes quickly is linked to those strings that cause us to be puppets, therefore, we should be on the look out for such false opportunities--these are those that provide us with no opportunity to learn or grow.
