When we allow our self to be imperfect, we find freedom.

Freedom to make mistakes… and ultimately grow in humility in the process
Freedom to take chances… because the fear of screwing up doesn’t paralyze us
Freedom to evolve and transform… even if we take three steps forward and ten steps back
Freedom to love our self… despite poor choices and wayward behaviors

Personal freedom turns into a desire to extend that same freedom to the people we love.

Freedom from expectations… alleviating a constant worry of disappointing us
Freedom to find truth… allowing our loved one to find their way
Freedom to communicate… creating a safe space to share without judgment
Freedom to be flawed as well… ensuring a path for the other person to grow right alongside us
