How To Free Yourself From Yourself

In this era, it is easy to get carried away with all the vanities and emptiness around. Everyone is eager to get things done in a hurry; and hence the cleverly coined name…Jet Age. In a society like ours, a dog eats dog society, it is easy to get carried away and imitate the crowd; just to blend in.

When this happens; most persons tend to lose who they are; they lose their identity living the life not meant for them; often a life of pleasure, fun and emptiness. Despite the pleasure, emptiness and void is all evident.

But why? Why the void despite the seeming appearance of affluence and wealth?

The answer is simple. You lack spiritual core.

Signs That You Lack Spiritual Core and Not Free

There are loads of folks that are just floating around in the society. They might have the financial wherewithal and have all that money can buy; but they lack direction in that they are imitators, just floating along with the crowd or what’s in vogue. Such people lack happiness.

How do you know if you are not free from yourself; that you are spiritually void?

• When you discover that you keep on trying to meet up with the joneses.
• When you have the monetary capabilities but still lack happiness
• When you don’t think of the life after now; but more concerned about the immediate pleasure
• When you live a make believe life, and seems to have lost your self-identity.
• When you don’t have people you can call your real friends around you
• When you don’t believe in God
• When you don’t believe in a life after now.

People who are stereotyped and not free from their selves are all around us. This is a bad situation to be in.

Freeing Yourself From Yourself

To free yourself from yourself, and start living, you need to first admit that you are floating and in bondage to the cultures of the world around you. You MUST see yourself as you truly are, dependent and empty.

Then, you must accept God into your life. Without a source of spiritual power or a spiritual core, you would still be empty and in bondage. Accepting God into your life means submitting ALL of your life to him and admitting that without him you can’t do anything. You do this by admitting Jesus Christ in to your life.

The moment you do this, you then have a source of spiritual power.

Then, see the world as it truly is. That it is all vanity. People pursuing wealth; living false lives; going after pleasures and fun; living in imitations, etc. lack spiritual core. There is no happiness there and often the source of bondage.

To free yourself and live fully, you would need to let go of the mundane things around you and cling to the real source of power and happiness so you can find your true identity.
