Finding Personal Freedom

On hiatus from LinkedIn, will check infrequently, email or text directly. Happy 2025, focusing on genuine connection elsewhere
Finding Personal Freedom
Is a belief
Is a state of mind
Is not something most ever understand
Is not something most ever feel
It is not a destination
It is a way of life
It is a layered subject based on an individual's experiences
It is not the absence of structure
It is the removing of allowing ourselves to be or feel controlled by anything outside of ourselves
It is realizing that we are what we allow than having the self-awareness to change ourselves
It Can Be:
Financial
Physical
Circumstantial or Situational
Bad relationships
The wrong people in our lives
Past trauma
Lack of self-worth
Lack of self-belief
Always needing, never being able to want instead
Fear of loss
Past loss
The absence of allowing and accepting
Holding on to our past
Living in the future
As I have traveled this amazingly beautiful journey over the last 8 months, I never thought that one message on March 5th would ever impact me so much. The reality is it was the beginning of the best time of my life, even though the first 2.5 months led to the lack of my personal freedom. From that came a true understanding of what my personal freedom is and how to work towards it. With my guiding light, shining so bright, I didn't have a choice but to go through not around my life.
For the first time in my life I am feeling my personal freedom, still struggling to keep it at times with being completely present, but progress and now being aware of where I am going makes it all so worth it. For the first time in my life, I am finally understanding what I really want and working daily towards getting there.
We are a blip in the man-made constraint called time, so why not allow ourselves to be free within in. For most, it is a specific, when what I have learned for myself is it is a way of life and being.
When we are able to accept and allow ourselves to be free within our current circumstances, we start tasting what our personal freedom is. Only then are we able to figure out how to get there and keep it.
Live and love the journey while finding what it is to ourselves and it will be revealed. Lose the fear and allow the uncomfortable process to start, there is never a better time than now.
Love and light

4yVery cool!
Adding personality to your website design and branding that’s not boring AF. Designing websites with less friction for your clients and less stress for you.
