What’s your definition of Freedom? For me, freedom means:
The ability to express my brilliance in the world – to have the space, opportunity and time to perfect it, package it, and deliver it to the world in a way that they want to receive it and are happy to compensate me for it. Freedom means the people who need what I have and see the value in it may exchange something of equal value for what I give them.
Freedom means this transaction isn’t forced, coerced or manipulated in any way. Both parties come to the exchange and make it of their own free will and choice. No one else is micromanaging or skimming off the top of this transaction – unless the parties agree to pay someone for facilitating the transaction.
Freedom means I have the ability to appropriate my time, talents, money and resources to assist those individuals and causes I feel led to assist. No one twists my arm or forces me to be charitable. I have the freedom to choose to be charitable… or not. Along with that freedom comes consequences. If I sow good seeds, I reap a good harvest. If I refuse to sow, I will not reap.
Freedom means I recognize that natural laws are at work in my life and in the lives of those around me. Causes have effects; choices have consequences. Within every challenge lies an equal and opposite opportunity. It is up to me to locate and receive that opportunity. No one else is obliged to set things right for me. By living in harmony with universal laws (and given meddlesome individuals or institutions do not interfere with natural consequences) I may attain increasing levels of freedom and prosperity. I understand that if I violate those natural laws, my freedom will diminish and my access to abundance will be blocked.
Freedom means I am responsible for and capable of creating my own life, expressing my highest/best self, building my own destiny and finding the silver linings in my own rain clouds. It also means that I am able to keep, appropriate and invest the fruit of my own labors.
