Employment Research Institute's Chief Executive Officer, A. Harrison Barnes, in a webinar discussed how your ability to remain free determines your success.

Many people are held up by diverse barriers, such as those created by their loved ones, relatives, lack of money, or even their own habits and beliefs. To achieve all that you have chosen for yourself and to be successful, you need to break these bonds and be truly free. Harrison presents examples of how people are trapped by their own thinking that decides they will behave in a certain way or associate with only certain kinds of people. At times, your obligations to others, including your family, can also turn out to be barriers to your own success. In order to achieve your full potential, you need to understand the parameters limiting you. After this, choose the most limiting ones and see if you can do without them.

Whether it is psychological or financial stability you desire, achieving success is linked to freedom. Unless you are able to create a world around you that supports you, you will be unable to pursue what you want to. This also includes the barriers you may have placed around yourself in the form of your own insecurities and beliefs. Only when you succeed in tearing these down, can you pursue the life you want to create for yourself.
