regarding freedom

Hey friend, 

Everybody wants freedom.

Freedom to choose what they want to do with their day and their life.

To be able to create what they want, to travel at will, to not be restricted by finances.

But the most confronting thing about freedom, is that you can actually have it.

The most confronting thing is, that the life of your dreams is yours- if you want it.

But it’s confronting.

To know that all you say that you want is not only possible, but its already present. It is not missing.

You just don’t know how to receive it.

For many its just too much.

Because to step into freedom, (which may or may not look like geographical, financial and time independence)

Means you may have to receive yourself.

To receive all that it is, that you are.

To have the courage to go beyond loneliness

To let go of everyone else

To not have anything familiar to rub up against

To fully receive yourself could be the hardest thing to do.

Because you friend, are your greatest challenge, you are your greatest adventure, you are the biggest mountain to climb, the hardest person to love

And that is the most confronting thing about freedom. 

Is that it all leads back to you.
