Freedom isn't Free

Chris Errington reflecting on freedom, risk, and the price of building a purposeful life.

Freedom isn’t free.

Not in your country...not in your life...not in your work...

There’s always a price.

For me, that price has been sleepless nights, risk, and failure...walking away from safe paychecks to chase something that mattered...losing things I thought I needed, only to realize I didn’t.

Freedom means taking ownership of your choices.

It means knowing that no one’s coming to save you...it’s on you to build the life you want.

You can’t delegate your dreams.

Some people think the price of freedom is too high...that it’s easier to stay where it’s comfortable...but every man pays a price...you either pay it now by doing the hard work, or you pay it later by living with regret...

I’d rather sweat for it than settle for it...

Because once you’ve tasted freedom, you’ll never want anything else.
