Now that I no longer have the burden (or joy actually) of school, as well as moving away from my job I have had the time and resources to really buckle down and spend my time online with my many ambitions. The really amazing thing with this though, has been that while I had always been spending a few hours each day on these web based initiatives, having the time to really put it all together has shown exponential returns. I am not telling you this to brag, or even to tip you off on the things I have been working on 
BUT, I bring this up instead to try and understand what the definition of “freedom” means to you?
Most people say that they want the stay at home job, but it is a TON of work and I think that most people are actually a little bit afraid at what this type of perceived success might do for them. To me, the notion of freedom is having the ability to spend time with your friends, family and be able to purchase enough quality in your life to be satisfied (which to every person means something different). I have had the wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with some pretty amazing elderly people recently and when I talk to them they all have the same type of response. When I ask them what they would they change in life it is always something along the lines of “I have everything.”
This heart warming response has been because of their relationships in family and with friends. Having everything has NEVER had to do with the amount of money in their bank account, the car they drove when they were 20, 30, or even 50. It was the 60 years of marriage, the many kids they have had, the wonderful friends who have shared their lives with them.
So with this I ask, what does freedom mean to you?
