What does it mean to truly be free? Written by Keren Obara.
What does it mean to truly be free? Does freedom completely increase, or reduce as we become more mature. I think it changes meaning. Freedom does not mean that one has no responsibilities. Freedom means allowing yourself and others to be human, without rushing to blame or criticise at first chance. Freedom means letting go and allowing oneself to love, to nurture, and to sow a good seed, without being held prisoner by pride or past mishaps.
Freedom does not lie in chasing people away, or running away, but rather, forming healthy connections and allowing yourself to freely nurture them.
Freedom means stepping out of yourself and giving service to the world. Creating something worthwhile, that mankind will appreciate for years to come.
Maturity carries within it the magical seed of freedom.
So choose today, will you be wise and take on the journey? Or will you hide behind the adolescent reverberations of your youth? It is important to face one’s fears and take the leap.
