I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.

Every day, I see and hear people who mentally condition themselves to such insignificant things, without knowing that they are creating mental barriers, and for which they never have true relief. For example: If I get X thing I will be happy, if I get such a thing I will be happy, when I get Issues that should not be a barrier, nor something important to be conditioned in such a way.

Rather than chasing happiness in the future, I'm encouraged to be happy in the process of seeking, recognizing that the journey never truly ends. It's a perpetual exploration, and my joy is not dependent on future outcomes but is a state to be embraced in the ever-present now.
