Are you a free spirit?
A free spirit is someone who thinks and acts in an uninhibited way that isn’t influenced by societal pressure. They don’t play by the rules just because someone else says so, instead they prefer to live in their own unconventional way moving with the flow of life.
If you’re looking to discover whether or not you fit the mold of a free spirit, ask yourself this:
Is freedom or complacency more important to me in life?
Maybe you naturally answered freedom, or you thought complacency is what you wanted in life, but it’s no longer fulfilling, so you've chosen to take a more free spirited approach to life. Either way, the good news is: you can become one! After all, its been said you’re not born a free spirit, but rather become one.
People often find it difficult to understand a free spirit because of their unorthodox way of life. The stereotypical idea of a free spirit is commonly thought to be some hippie who advocates against large corporations and travels around the world on their own accord, but that's far from the truth because anyone can be a free spirit -- it’s not a stereotype, it’s real people, all types of people who choose to live their life through truth and freedom, opposed to comfort and conformity.
