Personal Development

I was brought up and was tutored in an environment where living and adjusting for others than for myself was a priority and necessity. My roles were pre determined. What I did, What I ate, What I thought, with whom I interacted etc. I was told that the path given by my family was test driven and was not risk prone, as long as I took future wise decisions, once away from my parents to live with my Husband. All is well. In spite of ups and downs. We live a life of serenity and fulfilment.
The present age of enlightenment and Individual freedom has ensured that every individual can pursue and choose his/her happiness and is entitled to enjoy his life.
But instead of being happy, we are witnessing high levels of stress, isolation, mental turmoil, depression, loneliness, addiction, suicide. broken families, etc

Does freedom has its own price to pay? Could be , could not be.

By indulging in all urges, arising within each, every person traps himself/ herself in short term outcomes in relationships, health, harmony etc, seeking instant results and gratification. Patience, Inner discipline, compassion, tolerance, caring and forgiveness can go a long way for a happier self.
Consciously prevent the state of "Unconscious Stagnation"
