002 The Definition Of Freedom

As a freedom maniac, you should always have a clear definition of that ONE big word. Here is ours.

________________________________________________________________

TRANSCRIPT

We owe you an explanation, Victor.

You have heard us using that ONE big word fluently: Freedom.

Hence, allow a little time to inspect what we are talking about here.

As a Victor, you are used to always saying what you mean and meaning what you say.

However, not all are like you.

Approximately 8 billion human minds are out there—each with unique content.

Thus, when talking to a fellow human, always ensure consent about the essential terms and definitions both of you are using.

It doesn't make much sense when you talk about a nine while your mate has a six in mind, right?

If you are a Freedom maniac like us, that ONE word will constantly pour out of your own mouth as well: Freedom

So be sure not only to know what you are talking about.

Also, make sure that others instantly understand what you mean.

So that they can quickly decide how to deal with you.

That's especially important when it comes to team building and teamwork, which we will also be discussing a lot.

There are many BIG words out there, and Freedom surely is ONE of those BIG words people use in different contexts.

It also appears to be a problematic word since there is no universal definition of Freedom.

Make the test by asking ten people about their definitions, and be surprised at what you will get.

You may find that the more specific the answers are, the more challenging it is to come to a mutual understanding of Freedom.

That's why INVICTUS prefers a more general definition, which most members can agree with.

We will provide you with that in just a minute.

But before we do, let us remind you once again that we are not here to tell you the truth.

We are not here to suggest what is right or wrong.

INVICTUS' position is to inspire you to know your very own truth.

It is your life.

You write the code.

You decide what's going on in your head and what you choose to believe.

With this said, our definition of Freedom is short:

LIVE AND LET LIVE

Basically, there are only two simple guidelines to follow:

First, live your life to the fullest and prosper to your liking.

And second, allow others to do just the same while never attempting to harass another being.

Over to you, Victor. 

What is your definition of Freedom?

Say it out loud to yourself and see how it feels. 

It's also a good idea to write it down and take it with you wherever you go.

If you don't have an instant answer to that question, no problem.

Carry it around in your head for a while. You can also finetune your answer whenever you feel so.

And if you already like to extravert, how about asking your 5 best friends exactly that same question:

Hey, Buddy, what's your definition of Freedom?

Move on, Victor. 

You are THE ONE.

Meet you in the next episode of the INVICTUS Pepcast.
