Independence

What is independence? What does being independent mean? I know one thing for sure. It definitely doesn’t mean living or being on your own. Independence is learning the ways of living life in any society.

 When you learn to control yourself, you control the world around you and that’s the first step towards independence.

 When you learn to be responsible for your actions and answerable to your family, it’s the second step towards independence.

 When you learn the art of effective interaction with fellow human beings, it’s the third step towards independence.

 When you learn to create and maintain assets in life, tangible and intangible, that’s the fourth step towards independence.

 When you learn to keep on progressing in life and improving the quality of your life and that of your family, it’s the fifth step towards independence.

 When you learn to feel happy and satisfied with what you are doing in your life, that’s the last step towards independence.

Independence is being free. Free of limited visions, free of fears, free of worries.
