Freedom
Freedom is the act of doing whatever you want. Freedom is not a place you arrive to, it’s a feeling you cultivate.
According to the dictionary, Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants. The state of not being imprisoned or enslaved.
Being free is the best feeling in life. It’s amazing to get to choose what you want to do and when you want to do it. However, there are certain things that hold us back. Fear of the unknown holds us back. Feeling overwhelmed holds us back. Not knowing where you are going holds you back. On top of that, the world today is full of noise and distractions so sometimes you can miss out on the freedom that’s already there for you.
There are hundreds of examples of how we can practice freedom but my personal favorite is travel. If you are depressed and you want to be free, why don't you find a place to travel to. Even if it is just for a day, being away from people sometimes is freedom to me.
The first time I felt freedom was when I was 17. It was when I finished secondary school. I felt free and relieved. Not being under the control of teachers and not being a secondary school student anymore. That was my definition of freedom then, I never knew there was more to it.
True freedom is the internal feeling of having all your options open. It’s being able to make any decision, at any time, regardless of the circumstances.
It’s what you feel when you don’t have to choose between paying your rent and buying new clothes, or whether to skip a bill payment to afford a vacation.
It’s the feeling of living a life where anything is possible.
Happiness is Freedom
Happiness is freedom, and being free is being happy. I guess what I mean is that when you don’t let things hold you back, you feel free and you are free.
Love is Freedom
Although the world is full of so many different definitions of love and different types of love, I do believe that love is freedom. Freedom for you to be your true self, so you can experience all the feelings and emotions that life has to offer.
What we experience in relationships is often a reflection of where we are in our own lives. This can be attributed to the fact that we choose people and situations that are a direct reflection of where we are currently in life. Therefore, when we are not loving ourselves, we will often find ourselves in relationships with people that don’t love or even like themselves.
In other words, it’s an opportunity to learn how to love ourselves and bring that into our relationships so we can have healthy, sustainable and loving relationships.
In conclusion
Being free is the one of the best feeling in life;
Freedom is not being afraid to try, Freedom is not being afraid to make mistakes, Freedom is not being afraid to fall and get back up, Freedom is not being afraid to fail , Freedom is not being afraid to be vulnerable, Freedom is not being afraid to say what you mean and mean what you say, Freedom is not being afraid of who you really are, Freedom is not being afraid to let someone love you, Freedom is not the fear of consequence, Freedom is not free, It takes work.
Freedom is not for the lazy, Freedom is a choice.
