What is freedom? Is it an ideal, concept or right? Why are there so many people who are locked up inside themselves?
I’ve seen those who had to come to prison before they could learn what it meant to be free on the inside—it’s liberating.
True freedom starts when we remove self-doubt, stop limiting ourselves, and find the things that empower us. Freedom is not the pursuit of happiness—that pursuit is in opposition to freedom. Seeking happiness is like trying to get to tomorrow. It never comes!
Freedom is being free from restrictions, limitations, social norms, expectations, false hopes, etc. Freedom also is knowing that we are made of God. Every cell within our body is infused with God’s energy.
Therefore, we are created to be divine. We are more powerful than we know—we are free!
