On his website is the following (along with lots of other cool stuff, go check it out) philosophy of freerunning that I just love:
Freerunning is an evolution. Move like an animal. be fluid like water or find your own balance with a certain philosophy. This is the path of the Freerunner. Be focused within yourself more than the outside world.
The most important Freerunning advice is to follow your own path, your intuition - Make progress step by step. Don’t forget to find the path towards your own balance - Your own rhythm is essential to enjoyment and understanding Freerunning”.
Sébastien believes in the concepts of:
No violence
No violence, no destruction! Be focused on Passion and Creativity
No competition
Do not seek a prize, don’t compete against others! Competition is an illusion, where only the winners are remembered and losers forgotten you can learn from it, but it’s not The Way. In the Freerunning philosophy there is no Loser. The journey is more important than the goal.
No group
Just be one community, we can share with others,some people have more experience but we are all different and you need to find your own path.
No chief
No Leader, follow your way!
People can inspire you and you should respect them,
but you have to follow your way!

My next planned post is actually related to the "No Competition" point listed here... I really like what he says.

I fully agree. I have definitely realized that if we all stopped competing and allowed everybody their own creative genius without comparing, we would all thrive so much more. Some people feel there's only so much (insert talent/money/whatever here) and once it's found in another, that's it. NOT so.
