What Will You Give To Be Free?
Freedom isn’t given it’s earned.
It requires dedication, determination and faith. It requires you to want to be free over all other existing desires for external fulfillment. It requires you to be ready and willing to give up and let go as necessary.
Often we find ourselves seeking internal freedom from outside sources such as: alcohol, sex, drugs, food, shopping… The need to obtain internal freedom from an external source is habit forming; the foundation for an addiction. A dependency established to provide the escape you need.
Freedom is not an easy road.
It doesn’t come because there is no adversity; true freedom is obtained in spite of adversity. It is the ability to press forward despite the obstacles that exist on the path. In our ability to stand and proceed no matter what; we gain the highest level of freedom — Inner freedom.
When one can press forward in the face of adversity, brutality, oppression, hate, harm, etc…they are liberated from fear because outside situations and circumstances no longer have control over them. They are free…if only for a moment.
