Sunday Story…Independence


Is a lie. When you were younger you couldn’t wait to be free. Free from your parents’ rules and restrictions. Free from the expectations of the small people and places you grew up around. Free to explore and spread your nascent wings and fly whenever and wherever you wanted.

 

How’s that working now? How free are we really? And what is freedom? Let’s be honest…we are all actively participating in a constant trade-off of freedom vs. something else, be it security, love, money, or attention.

 

But we can never be free from the natural laws…gravity still rules, you still grow older and transform into some other form, strong foundations make strong buildings, moral compasses continue to point out right and wrong.

 

The only place where freedom truly rings is the freedom you have to choose your attitude. You can choose to be angry, you can choose to be a victim, you can choose to believe in the highest and best, you can ask yourself to approach the world with wonder.

 

One person’s freedom is another’s prison.
