On this day, when the entire country celebrates a day of freedom and independence, you can experience the true meaning of freedom. You can accept that freedom doesn’t come from a situation or “from” anything at all but is within you right now. And, in truth, you are always free to interpret any situation differently. You are free to dictate your own life and are free to choose thoughts that work for you and can liberate you from your own limiting self-made constructs. You have the freedom to decide what you do with the information you are given, how you interpret your life, how you dictate your future, what you believe about yourself, and what decisions you make. All of it is a choice. Your choice. And in choosing, you will find true freedom. Happy Fourth of July!

Just for today, I give myself freedom from the past and move with joy into the now. I move beyond forgiveness to understanding, and I have compassion for all. I now free myself from all destructive fears and doubts. I release all guilt and emotional hurt, and I am free. All is truly well in my world and so it is.
