We often mistake freedom as the ability to do whatever we want. Spiritually speaking, freedom is the fortitude to refrain from doing what we don’t want. We can choose to walk away from those behaviors that do not serve our soul and step into a new way of being. Look for the opportunities to create fresh, positive patterns, exchanging those short-term pleasures born of the ego for the long-term fulfillment that can only be generated by becoming a creative force.
