This move taught me many things. One of them is the meaning of independence. Today, I will talk about it.
How to be independent from social stress
Sometimes, we want independence to be distant from social stress. One way is to live a peaceful life in the countryside.
However, we sometimes don’t know how to make it happen.
The most common reason that makes us give up such a life would be the lack of a new source of income. Although we try to find or build a new business that we can do independently, we cannot make enough money from it.
Even if we can make it, we often have similar social stress from the new business. This is pointless. Our initial reason for independence is to be free from such stress.
These factors often prevent us from independence.
In such a case, the following concept might help you: Independence is the state of finishing things, not starting something. Today, I will explain it.
The nature of independence
Independence comes from finishing things. It is not something to start.
The following three concepts refer to the same thing:
- Independence
- Gaining freedom
- Breaking free from social constraints
When we try to start something, we usually try to make new social connections. Starting a new business is a typical example. It often creates a new social bind, even if we quit the previous stressful job.
This is why starting a new business often doesn’t give us satisfaction.
Ending ties to be independent
Independence is the opposite. It is the state of freedom. We need to end the ties that bind us.
It is a way of life that loses more than it gains. We may have gained a lot of socially valuable things, such as money, status, trust, or relationships. To be independent, we have to give up some of them, especially those that bind us.
It might be a path that makes us feel sad if we have social values. The more we lose socially, the more independent we can be.
Although we lose many things, we can create substitutes afterward. This is the process of independence.
How to find the essence of independence
It can be said that it is a path of purification. We finish many things. After that, we will find something important in what remains until the end. We never give up important things, no matter how we try to let go of them. That is the essence of independence.
What remains until the end is our core. It provides us with how to live, including how to make money.
In other words, we already have the elements to make money independently inside us. We are just confused by too much impure knowledge. Finding a new trending business doesn’t matter.
This may be why many people cannot gain independence. They try to win, obtain things, and avoid losses. They prefer victory and praise to sadness and loneliness.
I learned it from my move. I had to lose many things this time. I thought it would worsen my life. However, unexpectedly, it gave me a more independent and comfortable life. Losing social bonds gave me a more independent life.
If you want independence and find it hard to realize it, try choosing a sad way instead of victory. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Although it might look negative, that would be a good way.
Conclusion
That is the nature of independence. Independence is the state of finishing things, not starting.
Try finishing many things. What remains until the end is our core. It provides us with how to live, including how to make money.
This knowledge might give you a way to be independent.
