True freedom encompasses the full spectrum of freedom: physical freedom, financial freedom, mental and emotional freedom. It allows us to at any moment activate the energy and emotion through which we experience life. To be able to think about anything we want, to make choices, and to be free to pursue our goals. It invites joy and gratitude into our lives, giving us the power to direct our beliefs and behaviors to whatever end.
Authenticity is defined as the degree to which a person’s actions are aligned with his or her beliefs and desires, despite external pressures to conformity. To represent one’s true nature and belief; to be true to oneself or the person identified. The quality of being real or true.
