I hope everyone had a safe and fun Independence Day weekend. I spent some time thinking about what we were celebrating. This day is remembered for the tipping point of the formation of America, where we declared our separation from the bounds of Great Britain's rule.
Are we truly independent though? Yes, we are protected from tyranny, and we've been given many rights and freedoms. But many of us aren't free. We're bound by our jobs... our responsibilities... our own vices.
Be mindful of what things hold you back from becoming who you are. Then you might start to understand what it takes to be free.
