Search for freedom.

I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.Simone de Beauvoir

I have had a yearning for freedom for as long as I can remember. I was never bound or oppressed or anything like that. On the contrary, I grew up in a great country and I had a wonderful family.

I had lots of opportunities - more than most people - and I've always been free to make my own choices. I really have a lot to be thankful for.

However, even with all these things going for me, there were many times when I did not feel free. Especially during the first few years after I got my first job, I often just felt stuck, that my life had little meaning, and that there must be more to life than this.

The average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.H. L. Mencken

At first I thought I could find this freedom I was yearning for with money. I wanted to buy myself some freedom. I studied money and financial freedom very carefully. I learnt some very valuable lessons, and I applied them diligently to my life.

However, while this was a very worthwhile exercise, I now know that being financially free is not the key to finding freedom of the heart.

I'm not saying that money is not important. Money can most definitely prevent you from being free - by not having it, by having it and loving it too much, by mismanaging it, by indulging yourself with it, and especially by owing it to someone else.

What I am saying is that there is a deeper type of freedom. This is a freedom that exists within your inner being. The place where I am finding this freedom is not with money, it is with God, and in learning about purpose - about bringing my body and mind in-line with who I really am - a soul.

The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.Thucydides

I will share my thoughts about all the things I've learnt, and the things I'm still learning and trying to figure out here: thoughts on God and purpose, on working wisely with money, on debt, getting out of debt, and staying out of debt, on investing and finding financial freedom, and on the new Babylon - the supreme temple of western society - that traps its worshipers with materialism, addiction and immorality.

I pray that this site will bring a few people two steps closer to finding freedom, purpose, happiness, meaning to life, and God.

Libertà mio amico. Libertà.
