It is the freedom to be one's own true self, express and experience that self - that every soul yearns for, at the end of the day. That freedom to truth is ultimately the happiness...the happiness of the soul.

“I release my parents from the feeling that they might have somewhere failed me.
I release my children from the need to bring pride to me; so that they may write their own destiny their own ways according to their own hearts.
I release my partner from the obligation to complete me.
I do not lack anything.
I learn with all beings all the time.
I thank my grandparents and forefathers for that is how I can breathe life today.
I release them from past failures and unfulfilled desires, aware that they have done their best to resolve their situations within the consciousness they had at that moment.
So I say to them-I honor you, I love you and I recognize you as innocent.
I am transparent before your eyes, so they know that I do not hide or owe anything other than being true to myself and my existence.
Walking with the wisdom of the heart, I am aware that I fulfill my life project, free from invisible and visible family loyalties that might disturb my peace and happiness, (which are my only responsibilities.)
I renounce the role of savior, of being one who unites or fulfills the expectations of others.
Learning through, and only through, LOVE, I bless my essence, my way of expressing, even though somebody may not understand me.
I understand myself, because I alone have lived and experienced my history..because I know myself, I know who I am, what I feel, what I do and why I do it.
I respect and approve myself.
I honor the Divinity in me and in you.
We are free."
(This ancient blessing was created in the Nahuatl language, spoken in Mexico. It deals with forgiveness, affection, detachment and liberation)
