freedom.
When people think about this concept, they believe that freedom is all about revolutions, independence, decolonization, and broken chains. Now, although these assumptions are entirely correct, I think about freedom in a different way
you see the dictionary defines freedom as the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints". But  I believe that freedom can also be described as the ability to be unaffected by external forces. The capacity to control our emotions, to be free from negative emotions, to let go of self-condescending thoughts, to accept change and to move forward.
i have come to believe that freedom, like anger, can be a powerful driving force.  More often than not we are held captive by our emotions, and find ourselves on a thread mill. Being incapable of breaking loose of belief systems that stop our growth. In this state, we are not actually moving forward, but just going round in circles, trying to find our way back to the past. Thinking about what was, or the hurt we have been met with. In this state, we let these negative emotions control our thoughts, behaviors and our interaction with friends, family, co workers and even strangers. In essence, we are slaves to our emotions, and not really free.
So let's take our freedom back and let go....
