Freedom feels...

🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

---

There is something about being free, it just makes me feel like I own myself.

In this life we find ourselves being held hostage by many things especially our internal insecurities.

Things that make us feel like we cannot be completely our true selves.

For a long time time I also allowed my freedom to be taken away, it was never about other people it was just me lacking the strength and wisdom to be free.

I always felt like I needed to be serving or cheering on someone else.

For example, in a job I always felt any accomplishment should be credited to somebody superior than me, even if I had done the work.

At home I always gave the credit to the parents for anything I achieved.

I remember the first time I bought a car, I couldn't get myself to be proud of that achievement.

It felt like I was not the one who got it, like it was the employer who should be celebrating because if they didn't employ me I would not have bought a car.

To take it further I would feel that even my intellectual "property" did not belong to me, it felt like everything I was doing was owned by a "boss."

I know this sounds strange, but that is how I felt for a long time.

But after so many years of growth I acknowledge my contributions and I get proud of myself.

What am I saying? Until you start appreciating the efforts you make to achieve your goals, there is a level of freedom you're missing out on.

Allow yourself to be proud of You, It has nothing to do with circumstances that you may be facing.

I am in a better place now because I allowed myself to be free, nobody owns who I am or parts of me.

I had disowned myself for a long time, became a shadow but now I feel the freedom.

Even though it took a long time to be free, I am grateful to be experiencing it.
