When I think about what it means for me to be free, I’m thinking about what allows me to be me. Freedom means that I can be my most authentic version of myself without judgement or critique or restriction.
It means that I am free from having to conform to anyone else’s idea of who I am supposed to be or how I am supposed to live my unique life. Freedom means being free of limitations in health and finances. And it means that I can wake up each day and choose how I want to spend my time and my energy.
While freedom might seem like being able to travel around in an RV and live a location-independent life. The heart of the matter is that it is about being able to create any version of life that I desire for myself.
Ultimately, freedom is being able to live from a place of love rather than a place of fear. So much of our world encourages us to live in fear: fear of war, fear of not being or having enough, fear of being ill, and fear of dying. When I can instead choose to live from a place of love, love for myself, love for others, and love for our planet, that is when I truly feel free.
A life of freedom is a life of joy-filled liberation!
