The Path to Freedom

Many of us feel like we have to change or manipulate ourselves in order to win others approval. That is a form of being trapped, right? Don't try to control me or want me to be different than I am. Right? Sometimes that's how this feels like our freedoms infringed upon our agency. Even our judgment of ourselves is about freedom and agency. But ultimately, I trap myself again over and over with my own judgments, opinions or insecurities. There is a disconnect in who I am and who I want to be. And when there is, I will feel stuck in a spin of bad habits or inaction. It has never led to freedom in my experience.
