Using Freedom and Wisdom to Create a Better Life
This is definitely going to be a different Fourth of July. I usually talk about freedom in my pre-July 4 blog posts. But this time I’m taking you in a different direction. Heads up: This post might be confrontive.
We’ve heard a lot about freedom and rights as the country tries to re-open from the coronavirus crisis. I get it; many of us face economic devastation and need to get back to work. And I agree that we can’t stay shut down forever. How we transition leaves room for disagreement.
Some move forward and comply with preventative measures, then there are those who refuse. Regardless, how we proceed impacts what happens next. Freedom doesn’t shield us from cause and effect. It simply gives us the power to choose.
As you celebrate independence this weekend, ask yourself this: What do I want to happen next? And then take steps to create your desired scenario.
Because if you don’t do that, there’s no one to blame but you. You have the power to influence what happens around you. Freedom is being able to use that power. Wisdom is using that power to create what you say you want.
