Freedom



Everyone has their own idea of Freedom. For a good part of the world freedom is synonymous with the availability of food.
For some countries it is being a part of the choice for who runs their country.
And yet for others it can be education.
Freedom has a ring even in our personal lives. Choosing divorce, deciding that you choose not to have children...all these choices bring a personal freedom.
We can even take the feeling of freedom down to the enjoyment of our lives when we walk out the door of our employer.
I think you can only enjoy the sense of freedom if you are choosing it...if you work at a place where you feel trapped then when you walk out the door each day you are not going to feel the joys of freedom but only the sense of momentary relief and dread knowing that you HAVE to come back. To enjoy true freedom I believe, means that we are content with what we have chosen in our lives. We do not feel shackled to our jobs, our debt, our spouses, our country and to our beliefs.
