When you think of your sense of freedom for yourself, is it a feeling that leaves you feeling truly untethered from the constraints and opinions of other people, or do you find yourself still striving for the acceptance from others in order to make yourself feel worthy? Your worth is only ever fully seen by you, and nobody else can place a value on you just because you can or cannot appease them in any given moment. How many relationships are you nurturing with people who don't deserve you for the person that you are? Do you truly feel independent and free of judgment from others around you because you know your own commitment to your success and your worth can only be defined by you and you alone?
You need to do what is best for you--your personality, your morals, your ethics, your internal feelings about yourself. You don't owe anybody, anything, ever!!! You also have to be okay with accepting the repercussions for whatever it is that your actions require. You have to be comfortable within your own skin and actions if you want others to be okay with it, too. You have to be the one to set and claim your worth, know when value is being reciprocated in a relationship, and be able to leave when it is not being shared accordingly.
Create your goals based on your desired worth and remove doubt by no longer lying to yourself and treating yourself as a prisoner of your own design. You have to be willing to act with a level of integrity, honesty, and accountability you can live your life with. Are there some actions that you can change today because you are able to have the free will and freedom to make changes that you can supremely benefit from? Be able to evaluate your life and how free you really are to celebrate life and all it has to offer you if you are only willing to reach out and take a bite.
