The Freedom to Choose

As we prepare to celebrate independence in the United States, consider the freedoms you value most in your life and business.
What do you cherish and appreciate above all else?
Is it the freedom to choose:
- What you do?
- Who you choose to do it with?
- Where you live, work and play?
- How and what to think and say? or …
- What you believe about life, relationships, the human spirit, work or success?
To paraphrase, Victor Frankl, author of “Man’s Search for Meaning”, “The last of human freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
These words are made even more powerful, when we remember that Dr. Frankl was also a holocaust survivor.
Do not throw away your precious freedom to think and believe as you desire. It’s all to easy to do if we allow ourselves to get lost in the latest emergency, stream of activities or information that we accept as fact, forgetting that it came though someone’s else filters, no matter how “factual” in may seem.
Personally, I believe that the greatest gift of all, is the freedom to think, believe and express what is uniquely and incredibly yours to share.
For what you think and believe is at the very core of who you are.
To rise above social conditioning, requires that we consciously choose the attitude we’ll take with us on our journey through life.
So consider whether you will choose:
- Celebration over Sorrow
- Prosperity over Poverty
- Wisdom over Ignorance
- Love over Fear
and …
Freedom over self-created bondage.
In the end, it’s up to each of us to choose what we will believe, think, be and do.
Embrace your life and live it in your own unique and beautiful way.
