We like to think we’re free.

Don’t we?

Free to choose our path, pursue our dreams, and be who we want to be.

But for most of us, that freedom is an illusion.

We’re so tied up in the shit that we don’t want to do, the shit we trapped ourselves into, that our freedom is long gone.

@Daojoan
Bottom line: Be honest with yourself.
Its a rare character quality.

@Daojoan Super timely. Just this month I've been actively drawing back from a couple of long-running commitments. They are a significant time suck I realized they are keeping me from advancing other parts of my life which are more important to me.

@coreysnipes it's brutally hard to do. I struggle with it to this day.

👇 1000% this 👇

"But every time we say yes to something we don’t want or need to do, we’re saying no to something else."

"We're saying no to time for ourselves, no to our true passions, no to our kids, no to our partners, no to space to breathe and just be."
