Freedom! We hear it everywhere. We all want it. We say we want other people to have it. We go to war for it, supposedly. Advertisements and governments promise it. But what is it, really?
Responsibility! A lot of people have it. Not everyone wants it. Some people are terrified of it. We don’t want to give it away because some of us associate it with control. Advertisements and governments are afraid to use the word. So what is it, really?
It’s kind of funny if you ask me.
The great illusion. People make millions on this illusion. Freedom is good, responsibility is bad. Freedom makes us sexy; responsibility is the homely housewife in silent misery diligently raising 5 kids.
Men, buy this new car and the women will want you. Women, use this shaver and the other women will be jealous of your suddenly fit, tan and sexy legs. Either way, give away your money and you can have whatever you want!
Freedom is romantic, wild and attractive; responsibility is too much work!
Lets try a real ad: Freedom, It’s a state of being. Responsibility, it’s how you get what you truly want. Freedom comes from within. Responsibility is the access point. No one else can give this to you and no one can fully take it away.
Freedom and responsibility go hand in hand.
Freedom is living from spirit. Responsibility is standing strong, being empowered and not taking any crap from your own ego. We are all eternal beings. We cannot be hurt and we cannot be damaged. Even though our ego tells us we can. Ego is the great, dramatic actor!
Note to self: Stacey, get a spiritual backbone! Stop catering to your emotional upset! Stop being hurt. Stop being sad and depressed and feeling powerless and incapable! Be free from your own emotional turmoil, it’s bogging you down and making you feel stupid. Stop giving in to your self defeat! Stop pretending like you can be damaged.
We are eternal beings.
We are loving beings.
We are creative beings.
We are free, but first we must remember it.
Be free from drama. Be free from upset. Get over it!
Be free from yourself.
