The Desire for Freedom of Body and Mind By Napoleon Hill The desire for freedom of body and mind. The basic wish in everyone's heart is the desire to be free and unfettered. Ask the average man you meet and he will tell you that someday he's "going to be his own boss and nobody is going to tell him what to do." This elementary expression of a basic urge does not go beyond a mere idle wish in most cases, and sometimes it is just plain laziness that prompts it, rather than a definite desire to be free. In fact, working for oneself does not necessarily mean freedom. There are men who own their own businesses who work early and late to make ends meet while their employees work their eight hours and go home. But these are unusual situations. It is true that owning your own business is one way to be self-determining. This great country of ours affords more opportunities for personal freedom than anywhere else in the world. It is up to the individual to take advantage of the opportunity by having a definite idea of what he wants which will make him free, and a definite plan by which he can obtain his purpose. Freedom of body and mind requires very careful planning to achieve and "few there be that find it." Many persons, even with money, bind themselves to too many things and fail to be really free. As long as you are willing to let life push you around, it will.
