Day 30 out of 1095: Finding True Freedom: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Entrepreneurial Success

As we approach the eve of Passover, amidst one of the most challenging years since the establishment of the Jewish state, I find myself reflecting on the concept of freedom and its profound importance in the entrepreneurial world, a realm filled with endless possibilities and opportunities.

One of the most valuable lessons I've learned is that my personal definition of freedom and fulfillment is unique, and comparing it to others is futile. It's crucial to liberate ourselves from the notion that the grass is always greener on the other side and to challenge the limiting beliefs we've been taught about the "right" path to success.

The tragic loss of Major Sagi Golan, my friend from the commune, serves as a poignant reminder of the brevity of life and the importance of following our hearts and instincts. To help you determine whether you are experiencing true freedom, consider asking yourself the following questions:

1. Do I love what I do?
2. Do I wake up each day energized and ready to tackle new challenges?
3. Do my loved ones tell me they see how happy and fulfilled I am, even during the challenging startup phase?
4. If I had unlimited resources, would I still choose to do what I'm doing now?
5. Am I living in alignment with my values and the things that bring me joy?

As Simon Sinek wisely noted, once we have a strong "why," we can figure out the "how."

True freedom cannot exist while people remain hostages, and our hearts are torn. I pray for their swift return and hope.???

It's through the challenges we encounter in both our personal and entrepreneurial journeys that we grow and continuously redefine our sense of freedom. It's perfectly natural for our understanding of freedom to evolve over time.

May we always have the power to shape the reality we desire, understanding that true freedom within the complexities of our world is not a fairy tale or a miracle. It's about making the most accurate and authentic choices for ourselves, based on a deep understanding of reality, experience, and a constant drive to improve and grow.

I wish you all a fulfilling Passover and thank you for being a part of this journey (already 30 days in!).

Eliav.
