Hey, this is Leo, for actualized.org.

And in this video, I'm going to talk about freedom

versus self-discipline, and how do you go about creating

more freedom in your life. I'm really excited about this video topic because this is something that isn't very obvious to many people and this is something that really takes wrapping

your mind around to understand before you can get true freedom that you really

want out of your life so this video what I want to talk about is the importance of

self-discipline in order to get freedom. How those two are connected and why what you currently think you have as freedom isn't real freedom.

And that real freedom is something that you can develop through discipline and personal development.

So let's talk about this.

I commonly hear or I imagine you guys sometimes saying this to me.

You know, Leo, you're posting all these videos with actualized

org about how to work really hard to get the inner psychology down in order to create an amazing life.

So if you want financial freedom, if you want freedom in your career,

or if you want artistic freedom or freedom in your relationship, then how is this a vehicle

towards getting that freedom?

Because you might tell me, Leo, this self-mastery stuff that that rules and all these principles all this stuff that I have to do. You know I have to go meditate for hours. I have to go work on myself. I have to go do introspection. I have to journal. I have to take coaching coaching I have to maybe go see a therapist I have to have these

difficult conversations with with either my friends or my family or my spouse or my girlfriend.

So all of this stuff, you know, you talk about taking massive action,

you talk about really being honest with your ego.

This is all difficult work, and there's a lot of rigidity here. How does this not create

a strict and boring kind of life? I mean Leo, I don't want to turn into a monk. You're telling me that I'm going to become a monk and I'm going to be happy well maybe even a monk is happy but I don't want to be a monk I want to be free right I want to be free, right? I want to live that exciting adventurous life that I imagine for myself.

That's what I really want. I don't want to be a monk.
