It cost to be Free! Can you afford it?

When you think about freedom what comes to your mind? Is it flying in the sky with your hands lifted high? Or maybe going to a store and buying anything you want without having to think twice about it? Is it never having to work again and having the time to spend with friends and family or could it be something as simple as driving in a car with the drop top down allowing the wind to blow through your hair screaming “I’m FREE!”  Well regardless of what freedom looks like to you did you know that it comes with a price? Oh yes it does. Let me share with you. When you look at the life of the rich and famous all we see is the money, cars, financial freedom and extravagance. Which can look really nice to some and even become something others might envy but there is a price they pay for that life style. It could be that they can’t go to a movie or grocery store without having their picture taken or being approached by fans. Or they could have the struggle of finding new friends or entering a relationship with someone that may only want to be around them for their money or to get a piece of their fame. Or lastly it could be as simple as they might feel alone all the time bringing feelings of sadness and depression. Sounds pretty expensive if you ask me. However, this may be a price that some are willing to pay to have this lifestyle. So let’s take a look into our own lives. When we talk about things that we want in life whether that is to loose weight, start a new career or business; get out of a rut or a repeated cycle in our lives or change generational curses that affect our children and us, we have to take sometime to think about how much it’s going to cost us mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially to determine whether or not it’s worth the price and if we can afford it. Or even better we have to think about if we can afford not to do it. For example, if you are a pre diabetic, and the doctor is telling you that you need to slow down on your sugar and loose some weight before going into full blown diabetes, can you afford not to follow the doctors orders? Of course you can’t however, do we sometimes make the choice not to follow the orders? Yes we do and that is usually because we do not want to pay the price to be free. We want to be free for free and NOTHING is free! This is the thing, the person or thing that is keeping you bound will not willing let you go because it or they don’t have anything to gain from your freedom. The thing or person binding you is comfortable and enjoys having you around because it some how benefits from you, so why would it willing let you go? It’s not! I don’t care if it’s ice cream or a sugar daddy. Both person and thing are benefitting. The ice cream company is getting richer and the sugar daddy is getting his ego stroked. So, when considering whether or not you can’t afford to set yourself free consider this, who in your life will suffer if you don’t set yourself free? If you don’t follow the doctor’s orders and loose the weight to prevent diabetes, how will this affect your children and your children’s children? What example are you setting for them and what generational cycles are you maintaining verses breaking? Being free is not easy and it does come with a price, but there is also a price if we don’t fight and sometimes that price is more expensive. Lastly, I am not here to tell you to fight for freedom or not, I am just here to give you some information so you can make an informative decision and understand that the fight is real and can become intense but once the fight is over (and it will be over) you will truly be FREE and able to enjoy the fruit of your labor. Believe me, your future will thank you!
