Total freedom

Have you ever thought what life would be like if you were totally free? Do you realize that this is a choice you make every day regarding the expression of who you are? I talk to people every day who are living out the life that someone else has defined for them. These are lives based on the "shoulds," "musts" ,and "ought tos." When you choose to live a life that is directed by the needs and demands of others, you are captive to what those are in the moment. Of course it is important to be sensitive to those around you and to act in ways that show love and caring. This is a function of caring both for yourself and others. When you are truly free you have an awareness of how to maintain that balance. Some people refer to this as being your authentic self. You are in alignment with who you are and what your purpose is. An entirely new world opens up for you. This is not an easy task. It requires that you know yourself and your purpose in life. For some it is a lifelong journey to freedom but well worth the effort. Where are you in your journey to total freedom today?
