Would You Give Up Your Freedom?

7/3/2014

Freedom…one of my all-time favorite words.

In my book Where There Is Love, my character
Julie is an individual who is extremely independent. She is a beautiful
intelligent woman. However, her Achilles’ heel—you might say— is her need for
emotional attachment…to feel loved and admired. She doesn’t recognize her
strength and abilities to go it alone. Without realizing it, Julie gives up or
trades in her freedom and independence for the chance to be loved—or at least
what she thinks of as love. Julie is a good example of the prostitute archetype,
which you can read about in detail in the Caroline Myss book Sacred
Contracts
.

 It’s all too easy to give up our freedoms, our independence, and
the very person our spirit intends us to be for affection, material wealth,
fame, or security. It’s much more comfortable to be taken care of than to
accept personal responsibility for ourselves. But does that sort of bartering
bring true happiness?

In honor of Independence Day, I pose a question to you. Have you
ever traded your independence, your rights as an American, or even a bit of your
soul in order to achieve wealth, gain comfort, or find success? Oh, come on, you
know you have! Think about it. Have a great
holiday!


Where there is love there is freedom.
