We live in a free society, so it’s kind of funny to even talk about freedom. We have it, while many others just don’t.

We, as citizens of a free society, are often not free.

I know very sad people who are enslaved by their own constant apathy. They are in a marriage where they are miserable but refuse to just get help. They could get help through marriage counseling or even end the marriage. They have freedom of choice but the would rather just complain and complain. They are not free. But they have freedom of choice. It so sad they dont get it.

Some people hate work, hate their job. Why not change it? They are controlled by fear or dont thnink they have a chance for a better workplace. If the wanted to with a snap of the fingers they could change their job and their career. They could change their life overnight.

I have met many people who put up with abuse and mistreatment by familiy and so called loved ones. For years and years they will allow it not thinking they can do much better. They don realize that it is their life and they do have a choice.

I know people just stuck in a giant circular rut because of the past and the present and the maybe the future. They blindly accept it and they dont know how to end it.

I want you to please realize and think about that we have the right to choose freedom, but we must decide. We have been given a great gift and it is up to us to take advantge of that gift. Now , today right away.

Our happiness is based on the the ability to be able to choose. People can exert their right to be whatever they can dream. We can choose to reinvent ourselves mentally, spiritually, emotionally, financially and socially. We have the freedom to change from a biker to a banker if we choose, and banker to a bouncer if we choose, a bouncer to a ballet dancer if we choose, a ballet dancer to a bowler if we choose. It is really beautiful to have freedom and the ability to choose when we want.
