. Look at the faces of people. Do they look like free people? It seems everyone has never ending wants of many forms. Their bondage can be expressed in forms of “I have to …”, “I can’t …”

 Freedom or bondage?

Large mortgage that keeps you sleepless.

Freedom or bondage?
Limiting your expression to keep others happy?

Freedom or bondage?
Living outside your means?

Freedom or bondage?
Having to constantly impress others.

Freedom or bondage?
Believing money will fix everything.

Do not chase the illusion
that if you have enough money
you will be free or happy.

Many people with money are not happy or free.

Know yourself first!

Do not make your invisible chains longer!

Understand the reason for your wants
be it money, fame, job, relationship or marriage.

We all have needs that must be met. But to have wants that are merely things, tie us down. When we are free from wants and desires, we are truly free to be happy.
