This freedom doodle was inspired by thoughts that emerged as I pondered over the intimate connection between courage and freedom. We all have access to revelation and insight – powerful truth about ourselves, revelation about distorted and toxic beliefs, clarity on casting off oppression. Insight is the light that shines and shows us the path to freedom. However, freedom, while it exists for us all, isn’t something we just stumble into. It requires commitment on our part, a step of faith, an act of determination before we can attain it. Courage is that bridge to freedom.
Insight > courage > freedom
Freedom is
finding the courage
to be me.
Courage is
willingness
to stand alone,
determination
to take a stand against popular opinion:
conviction
to stand firm on principle.
Courage is freedom to be me.
“…no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”―Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
