Conclusion Freedom is yours.
Stars when you shine,
You know how I feel.
Scent of the pine,
You know how I feel.
Yeah,
Freedom is mine,
And I know how I feel.
Feeling Good by Nina Simone When you truly,
Wholeheartedly give yourself permission to do what you think is right and to be who you want to be,
You are capable of infinite achievements.
Not only will you enjoy yourself that much more,
But you will also believe in what you are doing.
This is freedom.
Freedom looks different for everyone.
To some it might be travelling the world all on their own for many years.
Or having a huge family of children and grandchildren to explore life with.
However,
Freedom feels the same for most people.
When living freely,
You know that you have made hard choices,
But you have also made the right choices for yourself.
You know that you may have made some mistakes,
But you also know that you can live with them,
Because you did the best you knew how at the time.
You should be quietly proud of yourself.
Freedom is taking personal responsibility.
When you blame others for how you feel,
You completely incarcerate yourself in the prison of others' actions.
Only you hold the key that opens the gates that free you to make a dash for the wide open world.
Holding resentment and anger towards others is the least freeing thing you can do.
But once out in the open air,
You can pick the path that will allow you to be free.
Free to carry on making healthy choices.
In a way,
It's a domino effect.
Once you put one productive action into place,
It makes the next ones easier to activate.
Freedom allows you to live in the present.
Being present means that you appreciate every moment you live at the time it happens.
They may not all be good,
But you can learn and grow from these situations.
When you are present in where you are and what you are doing,
You are much more open and available to recognizing and taking advantage of supportive opportunities.
Opportunities that will perpetuate your experience of who you really are.
You will be living your life.
Also,
Being present in your life will help you see those around you for who they are and enable you to support them the way you see fit.
You will see where they shine,
And you can appreciate them for that.
This genuine support and love for others will be apparent to those around you,
And they will be drawn to you.
Sometimes,
You can't do everything alone,
And you have to ask for help.
You cannot expect anyone to fix your problems,
But by sharing a little of the burden,
You can free yourself to catch your breath and look around for better ways to get out of the quagmires you sometimes find yourself in.
Your dream team members support you,
And that allows you much freedom,
And you can do the same for them.
Even though the first step of the journey is to give yourself permission to know you matter,
It is often very difficult to do when you don't feel free,
And it's nearly impossible to be free if you don't think you matter.
This is a vicious circle that needs to be broken at some point.
So by traveling the first stage of the journey,
You have proved to yourself that you do matter enough,
And it's up to you to keep up the good work.
You also experience freedom,
Both personally and professionally,
When you give yourself permission to live in accordance with your values.
You will know that you are doing the right thing,
And that will allow you to be much more at peace with your decisions and therefore be more present in your life,
In the lives of others,
And in the communities you live and work in.
Laughing with friends and having fun in general can lighten the soul,
Even if it's just for a few moments.
Those moments build on each other,
And all of a sudden you realize that you have had a great deal of fun,
And you go to sleep happy and carefree.
It can't be this way all the time,
But it can be this way much of the time,
If you just choose to grab hold of the peace and centeredness joy provides.
You can live your whole life seeking freedom from fear,
Because fear is one of the most crippling feelings.
What would you do with your life if you weren't afraid to fail?
Now is the time to give yourself permission to try it.
Freedom is deciding to take as large or as small a step as you're comfortable with to reach the goals and live the dreams you aspire to.
In time,
You just might risk taking bigger and bolder steps.
You will only be able to truly recognize opportunities if you know what they look like.
By dreaming big and holding intention for what you truly believe to be beneficial and empowering for yourself,
Your families,
Your businesses,
Your jobs,
Your coworkers,
And your employees,
You're able to live life to its fullest,
And this can only make you feel free.
Let's see if we can create a rich tapestry of experience,
Fulfillment,
And joy that will brighten this world.
Quietly,
Or maybe not so quietly,
Give yourself permission to do or be anything you feel to be right,
And see what happens.
What will you achieve when you simply give yourself permission?
We would all love to see you live your authentic and best life,
The one every human being deserves to live.
We are nothing without our joy to live and our freedom.
We will always regret not taking a stand when we could have.
Don't let this opportunity pass you by.
Now,
Go celebrate,
Live your life,
And join the freedom revolution.
