How do you define Freedom?

I had a dear friend share a Tik Tok with me and these verses have continued to pop back up in my head again and again in the past few days. Recently, I have had conversations about freedom and how do I or anyone else define freedom? Do we run to freedom or do we run away from existence constantly seeking freedom only to never find it? These verses reminded me of where I find my freedom. The freedom of not having to look back, of being defined by all that has passed but knowing that I am defined by what God has called me to become. Constantly moving forward knowing and trusting in what God has planned for me. The emptiness, the lack of freedom becomes filled. Letting go of what is behind me releases me from any constriction I may feel, or any limits I may have in becoming what God has planned for me. “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:12-14, NIV).
