I am Motivated Because I am Free

Posted by Shawn Doyle | Filed under Health & Fitness

Some people don’t have freedom. We live in a free society. We have freedom and yet we are always talking about it which is kind of funny.

We are often not free even though we live in and are citizens of a free society.

I know very sad people who are enslaved by their own constant apathy. They are in a marriage where they are miserable but refuse to just get help. They could get help through marriage counseling or even end the marriage. They have freedom of choice but the would rather just complain and complain. They are not free. But they have freedom of choice. It so sad they dont get it.

I know people who hate their jobs, but will not make changes because they fear change or just don’t think that they can do better. They do have a choice and can change their work and career if they choose to. But they make the wrong choice. Sad but true.

I know people who tolerate cruelty and mistreatment by family and so-called friends. They tolerate it for years, because they don’t think that they have the right to demand respectful treatment. They put up with the negative behavior.

I know dozens of people who choose to accept their circumstances because of their past, present, or future, and are stuck in a rut. They dont know they are in a rut but they clearly are.

We all should be greatful that freedom has been given to us as a gift. We must then make the choice to consciously use it now even today. We have to know we have the right and then make the decision to choose to use it.

Our happiness is based on the the ability to be able to choose. People can exert their right to be whatever they can dream. We can choose to reinvent ourselves mentally, spiritually, emotionally, financially and socially. We have the freedom to change from a biker to a banker if we choose, and banker to a bouncer if we choose, a bouncer to a ballet dancer if we choose, a ballet dancer to a bowler if we choose. It is really beautiful to have freedom and the ability to choose when we want.
