"El individuo verdaderamente libre solo es libre en la medida de su propio autocontrol."
— Steven Pressfield

Simplified Meaning:
True freedom comes when you have control over yourself. Imagine a person who wants to stop smoking. They really can only feel free if they have enough willpower to resist the urge to smoke. If they can't control their desire, they are not truly free because the habit controls them. In everyday life, this idea shows up in many ways. For instance, being financially responsible means you control your spending and savings habits, which gives you freedom from debt. So, to be really free, work on mastering your emotions, desires, and actions. When you manage yourself well, you can make choices that lead to a freer and more fulfilling life.
