Are you free? Independent? Sovereign? What does it mean to be these things? For some it can mean being alone and lonely. For others it can represent a burst of life force and spontaneity. For yet others it is in rebellion or pushing away from someone or something.
Today in the United States we are celebrating our nation’s beginnings as a free state. While enjoying the festivities, I encourage you to look at your own definition of independence and then assess your own internal nation-state. Where do you hold yourself hostage? What parts of your life would you like to emancipate? What can you do today, this week, this month to feel more self-reliant?
Be bold. The beginning of anything important never started with meek and mild attitudes or timid actions. Where do you want to be and what do you want to be doing? More importantly who do you want do be? Use the energy and momentum of today, stand on the shoulders of great people who were willing to risk it all to be free. “Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.’ ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Take steps today to free yourself from whatever is holding you back from letting your light shine. Be your own fireworks!
