You put it so well Claire, thanks! When our underlying desires aren’t reflected in our named goals we really are fighting against ourselves. That is spot on.

Thanks for reading! :)

Something that I have learned is that knowing yourself truly is a big part of the battle won. Often our underlying desires aren’t actually reflected in our named goals. Which means we can be fighting against ourselves…definitely not helpful in actually moving forwards!

I only discovered your blog today but I’ll keep reading,

Cheers

Thanks for your thoughts Claire! It’s important to have a clear image of what Freedom means to you, and it seems like you’ve got that. :)

I actually work better with structure so enjoy that part of a day job but would love something that was interesting and dynamic but that I could walk away from for, say, three months of the year. I’m a ‘go-places-but-have-a-home-base’ kind of person so that rhythm would work in other ways too.
I don’t in the least care about earning massive amounts of money, enough to not have to think about it would be perfect for me!!

For me, freedom would be to be able to support myself enough to travel without having to be somewhere at a certain time. If that means working online, from home or at a flwxible day job, I’d do it. What restain me the most, I think, is having to be at work at a certain time, attend meatings at scheduled times etc. I need to be able to work on what I feel like that very moment, that is when I feel joy when working and that’s when I do my best.

Macmillan Dictionary defines freedom as: “the right to do what you want, make your own decisions, and express your own opinions”. So Ridiculously Extraordinary Freedom could be something like: “the right to do all the Ridiculously Extraordinary things you want, make your own Ridiculously Extraordinary decisions, and express your own Ridiculously Extraordinary opinions” … so to speak ;)

I totally agree on that Karol.

If we only are selfish we miss the most wonderful things in life ^_^.
