    • True freedom is the capacity to exercise internal control. “The most precious of all possessions is power over ourselves.” — John Locke. Locke’s assertion emphasises the significance of individual agency.
    • Worries limit our freedom and capacity to enjoy life. The things we worry about have powerful control over us. Worries can be distracting. More often than not, your worries occupy your mental and emotional space, diverting your attention and energy away from other essential aspects of life.
    • Transcend the limitations of life. “Don’t let the things you don’t have prevent you from using what you do have.” — John Locke. Life often presents us with limitations and constraints; adaptability is how we thrive.
    • Use reason as your last judge — don’t be swayed by irrational impulses or baseless beliefs. Reason drives curiosity and a thirst for understanding. Reason empowers us to question the status quo, challenge conventional wisdom, and explore new ideas.
