TGIF (The Goal is Freedom)
I spend a lot of time thinking about what my ultimate goal in life is. What is all of this for? The early mornings and late nights I spend building my business, the energy I spend chasing whatever dream I have at the moment, the things I’ve sacrificed in the name of fulfillment — what is it ultimately for?
The one word that always comes to mind when I ask myself those questions is FREEDOM. I do what I do because what I ultimately want in life is freedom.
For me, freedom means that my mind, my body, and my soul are in alignment and at peace. It means that I am mentally and physically healthy and that I am able to treat that health as a priority without fear of ridicule or judgement — particularly my mental health.
Freedom means that I wake up every day single day, excited about what I do for a living, with a sense of fulfillment and purpose, knowing without a doubt that I am able to provide for the family that I’ll have someday. It means that I don’t have to feel like a prisoner to a job I hate that stymies my growth and dictates my life.
It means that I am able to live life on my own terms — confident in who I am, what I stand for and what I’m capable of accomplishing. Being free means that I can think for myself and stand firm in my beliefs knowing that I do good and I receive good.
Freedom, to me, means that the world is my oyster and I can actually go out and explore it. It means that I can move about and travel the world freely, without fear or a mindset that limits me to my own backyard.
Lastly, freedom means that my family and my friends can feel the deep love I have for them because I’m able to express that love freely. It means that I don’t allow hurt or pain to keep me from saying, “I love you” or from showing my love in action unbound by strained relationships.
I have a long way to go until I fully reach my goal, but I will continue to do the hard work it will take to reach this goal, never losing sight of what the real goal actually is. At the end of every long day, every rough week, every exhausting month and every unbelievable year, #TGIF (The Goal Is Freedom).
