Freedoms

Hi,
I was thinking about MLK day today and the freedoms that so many of us take for granted.
I'm not going to go into the politics of things or the discussion of race rights or even women rights, but, what I am going to blog about is the power freedom holds.

Everyday we seem to be enslaved to something, whether its our career, our kids, our marriage, our relationships in general, etc., but, most of us feel from time to time we are slave to something and we feel we are forever that captive. But, life doesn't have to be that way. We can choose to be free or we can choose to be to enslaved, its that simple. I hear some of you now, balking at this idea, but, it is true. Once we stop blaming our situation or circumstance on other things or other people, we will be free. Granted, most of us will need jobs and we need money, and we aren't willing to give up our children or families, or marriages, etc., but, the minute we stop the victim mentality, stop feeling sorry for ourselves, we will be FREE. Nothing in this life is perfect, even snowflakes are imperfect, but they are also perfect because they are free. Butterflies aren't perfect, but they are free. We aren't perfect, but, we can be free if we only allow ourselves to be ourselves and live life not on its terms, but our own.

Freedom was fought for each and everyone of us in some why shape or form, doesn't matter where you've come from, how you got here, or even what your belief, our freedom was fought for in many different ways, from human to spiritual, why would we continue to allow ourselves to remain victims to the unpleasant things in our lives. No matter what your dream, it is within your power to receive it, even not accept it, if it were handed to you on a platter. You don't have to be a slave to anything in your life. I challenger you today to explore for yourself where you feel you are a victim and let yourself free. Remember, the Power is in them shoes!
