Freedom of Action

You might be thinking, what kind of freedom is this? Freedom to Try. Yes,Freedom to Try. To be something we have to do something. This is a universal fact. No one gets something without doing anything.

It is different that some people have to make while some have to toil. But all have to make effort. We are brought up in the thinking dominated by action reaction theory. And we apply this to every action. As a result we expect result from our actions.

There are others who claim that we can do everything. Right from the cradle days to old age. This can is in the sense of achievement. But the results of efforts are dependent on many factors, some known, many unknown. When we achieve something we boast of our capability. And,when we fail we either plunge into gloom and depression or we get ready for another effort.

As per Indian scripture Geeta one should work and forget the result. However, it is hardly possible in real life. Our entire system is based on give and take. How can we forget result? Our examination results, our salaries, everything is based on the logic of action-reaction, effort -result, give and take an so on.

Lets think in terms of efforts. We have absolute freedom to make efforts. Lets think what does this mean. We can always act. It is not a small thing.But we are not able to enjoy this freedom because we first think in terms of results. We have our own assumptions about success and our own concept of success, because we are taught to define goals and mobilise our support support.

However, I feel we should fix our goal see things and make efforts. We may not have achieved what we desired. But we have certainly achieved something put of our efforts. It is different that it might not be our goal.

I am saying that we should settle for less. I am not saying anything about the result. Just think in terms of your freedom of effort, your ability to strive for something. Try it. The results will speak themselves. It is just to correct your perception of the idea of freedom of Action.
