My angel card at the moment is ‘freedom’.

The past few days I’ve been reflecting a lot on what freedom means to me. If you ask me do I feel I am free, I’d say ‘yes’ without even giving it a second thought. Of course I am free. I live in a free country where human rights are respected and where women are more or less equal to men. I am free to do, think and say what I like and I don’t have to live in fear. All of this definitely qualifies as freedom. But how do I feel about freedom on a deeper, more personal level? What does being free mean to me?

To me, freedom is (among other things):

  • being me
  • being true to myself
  • following my dreams
  • listening to my heart
  • opening my heart
  • not fearing
  • not worrying
  • being confident
  • having faith
  • being inspired
  • being passionate
  • being disciplined
  • expressing myself
  • challenging myself to do/learn/explore new things

 

Am I free? Do I feel free? In general, most of the time, yes, I do feel free and I do believe that I am free. Not completely free, I still have a lot of things to work on, but I’m definitely on the right path.

What does freedom mean to you? And do you feel free?
