Freedom from stress, freedom from anxiety, freedom from depression; freedom is autonomy from all that stagnates growth in this ever complex and noisy world. By the fear of being in the unknown, we often overlook and forget the serene view of being on the raft: the glowing virgin stars, the gentle ways that the waves moves, and the endless possibilities that exist under the sun. The fundamental principle of freedom is to be lost and our state of mind never differs too far from this analogy of being stranded in the middle of the ocean. Forrest Curran
About This Quote

In order to achieve true freedom, you must be able to embrace the unknown and the different. In order to do this, it is important for you to have an open mind. You must be willing to accept that there are many things you do not know and that there are many things which you can’t predict. In order to achieve a state of true freedom, you must not only embrace the unknown but also enjoy being lost in it. You must be able to take a break from time to time and sit back and enjoy the feeling of being alone in the middle of nowhere.
