Freedom may look different to each individual person but I believe there are a few fundamentals that we can all agree on; freedom to make our own choices, freedom to speak our truth, and freedom to be who we want to be, how we want to show up. In a world that is changing rapidly, I think it’s important to contemplate what freedom truly means to us and how we live it out each day. Our minds are powerful, our environments have a direct effect on our physical and mental well being, every one of our choices has a ripple effect that directly shapes our outcomes. During a month where we celebrate independence, I find myself contemplating, how am I choosing to live freely? When I lash out at someone without pause, I surrender my freedom to anger. When I choose to judge others and not find compassion in my heart, I live in comparison. Each time I make the choice to live in separation, I am taking away MY OWN power, my own freedom. I am making a decision to live in the bondage of self and division. Today, I choose freedom. I choose freedom to view the world through a lens of love. I freely choose to make decisions not based on fear alone. I choose to find compassion for all beings on this earth no matter what our differences. I choose to recognize our shared humanity. If we can all attempt to be a bit more mindful each day, to be kind to each other and ourselves, then we will always be living in a place of personal freedom. Our internal condition is what we choose it to be. Love and Light, |
