There are a great number of people searching for freedom and they can be found worldwide, it really is a struggle to find. The type of freedom most want is freedom to be yourself, persecuting your way according to your truth. The question is do you experience inner or outer freedom?

Inner freedom

Inner freedom can be described primarily as inner peace or inner balance, or in other words: being emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually free. Most want a balance of:-

• living from your heart;
• being in harmony with yourself;
• life from unconditional love and inner strength.

This means that you are free of your own impeding thoughts, emotions and beliefs, and that your physical body is also healthy and supports you instead of restricting it. This starts with knowing who you are and what your strength is, but also knowing what is obstructing you. Then you can let go of what hinders you and stimulate what feeds you. And then you can express your true self in life itself. However, the possibilities for this will also be determined by the circumstances in your life and the extent to which you can be yourself in freedom.

Outer freedom

Outer freedom, this is not only the freedom of oppression or the freedom of faith and life vision, but also:-

• financial freedom
• the freedom to organize your private life as you want
• the freedom of restrictive obligations of work and social contacts

There are all kinds of circumstances that can make you dependent on others. Simply because you have to comply with agreements or because you feel obliged to do so in any way. You can not get out of it or you may not know how. This outer freedom has many forms and is often also dependent on your living conditions. Your inner balance - who you are and how you live - partly determines your living conditions and how you deal with them. But especially how you experience it.

Perception

With inner and outer freedom it is mainly about how you experience it and what you understand about freedom. If you look at, the perception of financial freedom, then the one will say that he is financially free if he is a multi-millionaire and never has to work again. Another may understand the freedom of debt and the ability to provide for his life needs independently.

Experiencing freedom in any form always depends on the person, the wishes and needs. As a result, the degree of freedom is determined by your own truth. It is therefore important to know that you decide whether you are free, but above all that by taking steps you can create your own inner and outer freedom.

To take charge

Ultimately, it's about taking leadership and taking responsibility in and about your life, with both freedoms starting with:-

• being yourself
• accepting yourself
• loving yourself

Even if you are dependent on others on certain fronts - for example by obligations or agreements - as long as you are free in your heart, you can live on the basis of unconditional love and inner strength. From inner freedom you can then make choices that support your true self and lead you step by step to outer freedom.

When you are free inward, your outer freedom automatically follows. This also works vice versa. Adjust your perception of outer freedom and stop looking for confirmation of who you are and what you are doing outside yourself. If you start to believe in yourself and your own wisdom, you will feel less dependent on others and this will also become less and less. This will also make you feel more free to continue your journey.

And this starts with very practical steps:-

• be clear to yourself what freedom means to you
• get to know yourself and discover in what situations and under what circumstances you do not feel free, but dependent
• stop yourself every time you are inclined to end up in such a situation again by choosing yourself and your truth.
