Independence Day in the USA

In honor of celebrating our country’s independence and our inalienable right to pursue liberty and happiness, I thought I would share some ideas on how you can set your soul free.

For me, freedom is a very high personal value---freedom to be fully expressed, the ability to set my own schedule, create my work the way that I want to, and to think, speak, and do as I basically choose. Because it is such an everyday part of my life, I do take those freedoms for granted and am still shocked and dismayed when I hear how other people in power dominate and control living, breathing human beings.

However, true freedom comes from the soul. Just because someone is locked up in prison, in an abusive relationship, in financial debt, or chained to a job that they despise, they can still feel free on the inside.

Here are 2 simple ways you can set your soul free this holiday:

As Robert Frost once penned, “Freedom lies in being bold.”

Be bold---be, do, and have what your heart desires and make no apologies. Be outrageous. Take the bull by the horns, and stand up for something you believe in.

Speak or Write Out.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “All life is an experiment, the more experiments you make, the better.”

Look at your life as a research experiment---try new things, meet new people, read unusual books, take exotic trips, perform work out of the mainstream, wear different clothes—the main thing is to experiment, that way you can discover what really turns you on and lights you up!

I am going to be bold and try an experiment in some of my next blog posts.

I am going to do what I have never done and that is reveal personal aspects of myself you may not know about me…so tune back in a week or so and read all about it!
