Happy July 4th-a day when we celebrate our freedom. However, sometimes we can all become a prisoner to our own thoughts and forget that we have always have the freedom to choose. Choose a different thought. Choose a different experience. Choose a different interpretation. Today, begin to free yourself from all the stories that you continue to tell yourself over and over again and that in reality have taken you prisoner. Begin to recognize that your thoughts are just well practiced habitual ways of thinking. But that doesn’t always mean they are right. Today begin to recognize that your thoughts do not run your life and that you can choose differently—this is where you will find your true freedom. Freedom of interpretation, freedom to dictate your own life, freedom to choose thoughts that work for you and that can liberate you from your own limiting self-made constructs. You always have the freedom to decide what you do with information you receive and how you interpret your life; how you dictate your future, or make new decisions. All of it is a choice, your choice. And in choosing, you will find true freedom.

Just for today, I recognize that I always have a choice on what I choose to think and what I choose to believe about my life. I have unlimited choices and opportunities are everywhere. I know if I want to change my life on the outside, I must choose to change inside first. The inner creates the outer always. I choose to be happy and I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life. Everything is working out for my highest good. I am free and so it is.
