The goal is not freedom – the goal is authenticity. (Episode 255)

The goal is not freedom – the goal is authenticity. (Episode 255)

I was interviewed by a large German newspaper for three hours, yesterday. We talked about everything from creativity, living on an island and about my approach to life.

I was asked: ”You seem to have built a life of freedom – not many people have been able to do that.”

I replied: ”The end goal is not freedom. The end goal is authenticity. What you want is to use your freedom to live an authentic life. Many people have freedom, but they are still not happy or fulfilled. Freedom without authenticity is meaningless. It might even make you miserable.

Aim to live a life of authenticity. A life where you are true to who you are and who you are trying to become.”

Felt like that message needed to be shared with more people.
