Freedom In Self Storage

Freedom is the ability that we have to make decisions for ourselves, regardless of whether or not they seem to make any sense whatsoever to other people. We are born with this great gift of freedom in America. We often take our freedom for granted, and we forget that not everyone on this planet experiences the amount pf personal freedom that we have the opportunity to live with.

We exercise our freedom when we choose to eat peach sorbet with blueberries for dinner, or stay up until dawn to watch the sun rise. We exercise our freedom when we choose organically grown apples at the grocery store, or make the decision to rescue a turtle from the middle of the road, seeing it safely off to the side.

Our freedom to choose brings us life learning in the form of relationships, opportunities and responsibilities. Though some people may not feel free when performing obligations that they do not necessarily enjoy, such as working for a living, they still have the freedom to stop and face the consequences of not finishing the job, such as not getting paid. Perhaps not everyone would make the same choices, but what is important is that we each have the freedom to choose what is most important to us.

Some people use their freedom to imprison themselves within destructive habits and confining relationships. They bemoan their fate, always complaining of how hard and unfair their situation happens to be, how expensive their life is, how inconvenient their obligations are. We have all met such people. They have freely chosen to walk the path of resistance and of suffering, creating more obstacles for themselves in the process. Negative thoughts and actions are a self fulfilling prophecy. We have the freedom to overcome the weaknesses, too.

Self service storage gives us opportunities to exercise our freedom, as well. We store what we choose to store, be it our childhood bedroom furniture or our remote control car collection, we choose what goes into our rental unit, and how long it will stay there.  And thanks to the key less entry that is now available at most self service storage centers, there are absolutely no deadlines, other than when the rent is due. We deliver our items to our unit when we choose, even if it is three o’clock in the morning before we get around to going there.

Self service storage fits into our lives by accommodating our busy schedules. We can choose to fill up our time with things that mean something to us, like making money, spending time with our beloveds, and basically enjoying ourselves. Chores and obligations are no fun for anyone. Feeling pressured or obligated to complete something may be a good way to motivate some people to action, but for others, it may make the job more excruciating and less likely to be done. The no fuss, no stress accommodations that can be found at just about any self service storage center offers business on the terms of the individual, whatever terms those may be.

Freedom is what we make of it, whether it comes in the form of a decision to use a particular self service storage center or it comes as a conscious choice to always look for the good in situations and in other people, we can intentionally resolve to appreciate, and even cherish, the freedoms that we have at our fingertips. In this way, we allow ourselves to be open to the inherent lessons of life, and be accepting of our part in them.
