Choose freedom
Freedom is difficult work. It would be much easier to let
yourself be enslaved by the opinions of others, by your
desire for comfort and familiarity, or by your quest for
empty sensations.
Yet freedom it well worth the effort. For it makes a whole
world of wonderful things possible.
True freedom demands that you think for yourself and live
with an authentic, meaningful purpose that is uniquely you.
Those things require effort, commitment, creativity and
persistence.
If freedom is to endure in your life, it must be supported
by your own responsibility. For without responsibility,
freedom quickly decays into meaningless anarchy.
Freedom can be intimidating, because it constantly asks you
to make decisions. Yet that is also what makes freedom so
liberating, for it gives you the power to choose.
You have within you the desire, the ability and the strength
to live with freedom. Choose freedom, nourish and support
it, and that freedom will bring real richness to your
world.
