Happiness & freedom are not the same thing. They could not be more different.
"If I have freedom, I'll be happy" is simply not true. Many people have claimed that being alone for example, would make them happy, but after some time they realise it isn't all it's cracked up to be. Fact is, we need human interaction & relationships.
"If I make millions & reach financial freedom, I'll be so happy" is also untrue. Just ask successful business people or celebrities who long suffer from depression & sadly decide to end their life.
I said recently, "You know you have wealth when you have your health" & I truly believe that is the foundation for love, happiness, freedom & more.
