Emancipate Yourself... Continuously.

Bob Marley wrote a song that included the inspirational words from a speech by Marcus Garvey:

"We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery because whilst others might free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind. Mind is your only ruler, sovereign. The man who is not able to develop and use his mind is bound to be the slave of the other man who uses his mind; use your intelligence to work out the real things of life. The time you waste in levity, in non-essentials, if you use it properly you will be able to guarantee to your posterity a condition better than you inherited from your forefathers."

What does this mean?

Emancipation = Independence. Liberation. Release.
Mental = Psychological. Spiritual. Intellectual.
Slavery = Bondage. Captivity. Subjugation.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Emancipation from Mental Slavery
=
Spiritual Release.
Intellectual Independence. 
Psychological Liberation.

How does one achieve this?
NOT being stagnate. NOT conforming to the status quo.

LEARN & SEEK new knowledge, insights, ideas...  continually do a MENTAL UPGRADE.

Start today; instead of passively watching a sitcom or TV drama, grab a book and store up some knowledge!

You are born with a FREE mind... and YOU hold the key.. UNLOCK IT!
