"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask"
- Jim Morrison
About this Quote
This quote by Jim Morrison talks to the concept that true freedom comes from having the ability to be yourself without fear of judgement or criticism. When we put on a mask, we are selling our reality for a function that we think will be accepted by others. We give up our capability to feel and express our true selves in order to fit in and be accepted. This quote encourages us to be brave and to be real to ourselves, even if it indicates going versus the grain. It is only when we have the ability to be our genuine selves that we can genuinely experience flexibility.
