I THINK BOTH ARE TRUE - FREEDOM IS NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE AND NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

FREEDOM - MORE ON THE MIRACLE OF GRACE
FREEDOM: FREELY GIVEN GRACE
You do not have to earn grace, however you have to be aware and be able to receive it. Many people can give but fewer can receive (do not feel worthy)

FREEDOM = GRACE FREELY GIVEN (Freedom to Recieve Miracles Moment by Moment)
The reason most people don't recognize the miracles that are performed on their behalf, Ron, is because there's just so bloomin' many of them. Like this very moment... And this one... And this one... Ahhh-h-h-h, The Universe
Ron Alexander: GRACE IS THERE, one just needs to be aware and claim it moment by moment. It is FREELY GIVEN!

FREEDOM TO CHOSE MY ATTITUDE
So more on what freedom means to me. This morning I woke up in a new place without much sleep in a grumpy mood. Adding to that , I had my tires balanced on the way here yesterday, but the front end was still jumpy this morning, so I took them back to tire place to get them checked again. I found out upon re-checking that two tires were unable to be balanced, so they would have to be replaced, however, I am going to wait until I can take them back to the tire dealer in Charleston area to see if guarantee will work? In the meanwhile, what does freedom mean to me in this circumstance - I CAN CHOOSE NOT TO BE DISTURBED! I HAVE THE FREEDOM OF CHOOSING MY ATTITUDE. I REFUSE TO BE GRUMPY IN REUNION I HAVE COMING UP! THANKFUL FOR FREEDOM!
FREEDOM COMES FROM WITHIN
Posting a lot on Freedom these days with Independence day coming up...I know that freedom has to come from within. Some of the most freed people that I have seen were dedicated meditators in prison. They learned Vipassana( Doing Time Doing Vipassana) meditation there, and most were lifers with no hope of parole.
One can find the truth mindfully washing dishes
When one is able to overcome the romantic and emotional attitude, one discovers truth even in the kitchen sink.
