Freedom...not just a word
from my favorite movie Braveheart...but also my new mantra. And where I have
found it recently is from giving myself permission to be free. I've always been
a free spirit but I lost that somewhere along the way. The point is that we set
our own limitations and if we set them, then we can free them. It starts from
the thoughts we wake up with every day. It's a choice to decide what we want
out of the day and how we react to things that come our way.
With freedom comes a fire inside...a fire to do something
more in life, something bigger than ourselves and that is also where faith
comes in. I got a Celtic cross tattoo on my wrist so I am reminded every day of
not only my faith but to trust in God's plan and lean not on my own
understanding. This is freeing because quite frankly, I do not think I
have the capacity to understand why some things have happened in my life. But I
am certain that they will not define me and my future. They are part of my story,
but will not restrict my ability to see all the world still has to offer.
We have the freedom to not just dream big but to also make our
dreams come true. We have the freedom to love if we allow ourselves to let go
of things lost. We have the freedom to start anew any single day we decide we
are all in. I know this because I decided this about 3 years ago and I am only
starting to see the new path unfold. But what if I never gave myself permission
to do so? I would be in chains not of this world...but of my own making.
I will not live life in fear but rather fearless. And I will
spend each day of my life making it the best day of my life because that is my
free will to do so.
Whatever you have to do to move forward, remember it is up to
you...truly it is. And the possibilities are endless if you will just take a
chance on YOU first. You deserve it.
