What is freedom?
We may sometimes feel locked up in a cage living in this world. We may feel like we aren't able to live the life we want due to our circumstances. But what if none of that truly exists. What if we can see past the boundaries and the fears we have created in allowing ourselves to be free?

Do you ever sit and wonder how you've made it all the way to this amazing place and you can't seem to escape the cage you're in? It doesn't make sense, does it. When you start a family all you want to do is give your children the best life possible, but at the same time you want to give a little more to yourself at the same time. Thoughts like this don't even cross some peoples minds, but many wonder why they are stuck living Day to Day and week by week. Why do we have to kill ourselves doing something we're not enjoying to create a financially secure life that only pays our bills and a small fraction more.
I've always hated working for someone else, so I've been really open to better opportunities and sourcing a way out of the system everyone else seems to be caught up in. I have seen how possible it is to make something bigger and better, no matter what it takes.

Do you feel like you know what freedom is?
Do you feel like you are living freely?
Or do you feel like you are trapped from your desires?

Most of us blame the economy for this, we blame the Government, and we blame the 'Big people at the top'. STOP right there. I'm sorry but this isn't always the case. We as people have power within ourselves. We have the knowledge to create the life we want to live, we have the resources to be something great. Even though we may not get taught this at school, and we don't ever see this on the news, your friends and peers probably don't even talk about this. But, a truthful reality is that we are all able to live an easier life filled with freedom.

Freedom is what it's all about. Money is great, but for me it buys freedom. Forget the big debts to drive big cars, I want freedom first.

So true @unclehermit!
Freedom before money means happiness
