Slavery to Free Man: Defy the Odds And Change Your Life

How do you change yourself, the trajectory of your life, and your circumstances? The story of Frederick Douglass, the slave to free man, offers a timeless answer to all of these questions. Listen to the story of Frederick Douglass’s autobiographical narrative as a case study to explain a framework for personal change: imposed reality, awakening, direction, separation and tension, turning point, and strategic freedom. You'll learn that circumstances are the last thing to change and that Douglass became mentally free long before he escaped physically. Creating an identity in alignment with who you are, beyond your reality, enabled Frederick to overcome the dehumanizing violence and control tactics of slavery. The climax is Douglass’s fight with the “slave breaker” Mr. Covey, after which he resolves, "Cowardice departed, bold defiance took it's place." Learn from him this defiance to take control of your life and make positive change.-00:00 Change through Identity03:05 Steps of Change from Frederick 05:21 Frederick's Imposed Reality and Childhood Stories22:43 Seeing Another Way37:06 Friction of Conflict: The Dissonance Of Dream Versus Reality43:15 The Climax: One Cannot Live While the Other Survives52:28 Creating Growth Rather Than Decay01:02:00 The Escape: Bearing the Responsibilities Of a Free Man01:16:32 Seeing Life For What It Can Be-Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestorytellerbroadcast/#story #freedom #changeyourlife
