What does freedom mean to you?
Well, that’s a question with a million answers! Or is it?
Every individuals’ perception of freedom can be vastly different, and freedom can have many connotations, but ultimately freedom is what you wish it to be.
Freedom to choose
Freedom to live life the way you want to
Financial Freedom
Freedom of movement
Freedom of time
Freedom from worry
The list is endless and is open to interpretation, what matters is how you value what freedom means to you.
Do you accept that your life is your lot and there is nothing you can do to change it or do you kick ass and say you know what, my life is my own to do with as I choose and I will not ever give anyone the right to give or take my freedom as they please. My freedom is mine and mine alone.
Easier said than done I hear you say but being true to yourself, to what you believe and making the choices that are yours to make and no one else’s is freedom in itself. By taking these steps, you are already on your way to living your best–free – life.
We may have certain things in our lives that perhaps we feel we have no choice over doing, working for someone else is a good example – to put food in our bellies or to give us somewhere warm and safe to sleep – and this doesn’t feel like freedom, however, we can choose to feel that it is our choice to do these things, rather than thinking of them as a ball and chain.
Having the freedom to do the things we enjoy doing outside of this time, spending it with loved ones, playing a sport, taking time out in nature, enjoying a hobby – whatever brings you your joy – we can soak up every part of that freedom and absolutely live our lives to the fullest.
You might want to work for yourself but working for someone else for a while may be what you need until the funds present themselves and enable you to have the business freedom you desire.
Freedom is knowing the difference between choice and obligation. Being a martyr isn’t being free, we “should” never “should” all over ourselves. Whether it’s thinking or doing what we think we “should” do, or others telling us we “should” be doing X, Y or Z, remember, your freedom, your choice.
If you want a bubble bath at 3pm, or if you want to run bare foot through the sand at dawn – go ahead. BE and feel free.
Why not try a simple exercise and discover what Freedom really means to you?
Take a piece of paper and write F R E E D O M down one side. Then either using the first letters as prompts or just write a sentence next to the letter, the choice is yours – just take some time to really have a think about exactly what Freedom means to you.
There is no right or wrong answer, just your answer and that’s all that matters. Freedom is knowing what is right for you and living that freedom.
But most of all, enjoy your Freedom, know it, love it, it is yours after all…..
Now why on earth did “live long and prosper” suddenly pop into my head?? Oh well, never mind!
Why don’t you do just that….
To be a part of the magic…
