A New approach to Freedom

Most of us discover that we've had mixed-up ideas about the nature of freedom. Real freedom is not simply doing exactly as one pleases; privileges would be the correct term for that. And desirable as political freedom is, it cannot give us what we're really seeking.

We should approach freedom by recognizing that we're really seeking release from the bondage of self. This self-concern can be one of the worst tyrannies humans face. As we are released from the bondage of self, we learn that our choices begin to multiply. We make wise decisions instead of being driven to certain actions. We are truly free.

Action for today:

Today I'll enjoy a freedom that is available to anybody who seeks it whole heartedly. I'll know it as the freedom only my Higher Power can offer.
