Freedom is my siren call!
How about you?
And no, this isn’t a political blog. Although political freedom is important.
I want to talk about a deeply personal freedom that no person or circumstance can take from you.
That is True Freedom!
How do we get it?
The interesting this is that you already have it, whether you feel like you do or not.
You see, Freedom is an inside job.
Could you feel free if you lost your job, your car was repossessed or you were homeless?
Even if we don’t mean to, we often associate freedom with our circumstances.
Do I have the financial stability and abundance to feel free?
Can I go places when I want to? Talk to the people I want to? Marry the person I want to? Decide whether or not to get married or have a family?
What we know is that when we have the freedom that money, time, opportunity and healthy relationships allow for; we feel great! That’s cool. I’m all for it.
Here’s the problem.
Almost all of us have a little “People Pleaser” in us. Some of us have a lot!
When I believe my freedom requires me to have certain circumstances in my life, I will give my power away because I don’t want to risk losing it. My People Pleaser takes over and my authentic, truth will get hijacked. And there’s no freedom in that.
For instance, if I feel like freedom requires me to make a certain amount of money, then I’ll probably do things to please my boss or overly accommodate someone to get their approval, or have poor boundaries in my business, because deep down, I’m afraid of “making waves” or “causing trouble.” After all, what if I got fired or my business started to fail? I’ll lose my financial freedom.
This happens big-time in romantic relationships and families. We start being overly accommodating and doing more than our share of the work, at home or in the relationship, in order to “keep the peace” or create “harmony.” After all, you don’t want to lose the relationship, that doesn’t feel like freedom!
The mind has a great reason why it’s always your turn to “go the extra mile” or “step-up to the plate” in order to keep you thinking that your freedom is secure.
But, you my dear, are paying the price.
And the price is freedom.
When you manage your relationships, job, finances and everything else, through your Loving Inner Authority, you won’t give those people or organizations the power to hijack your personal sense of freedom.
When you are empowered, from the inside out, there isn’t a person or circumstance that can rob you of your freedom.
And that’s the best freedom of all because it’s authentic. Sure, you may not go on a shopping spree because your finances have tightened up a bit because you left a job or relationship that was toxic, but the personal freedom of taking a stand for yourself will feel 100 times more liberating than that shopping spree would have.
You see, freedom is really a feeling. We can give ourselves the power to feel it or give that power to others.
I help clients bring all their power back to themselves. That’s true freedom.
The kind of freedom that can never be taken from you.
