Make today YOUR independence day

“Let today be the day that you declare to yourself that you have inalienable rights and have the courage to stand up to those in your life who convince you otherwise. If any of your relationships do not promote your right to “Life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”, do what we did in 1776 and draw a boundary. And like the Preamble says, if any relationship becomes destructive, it is your right to abolish it and create new relationships that promote Safety and Happiness.

A single act of defiance in the face of oppression created a whole new country full of new found possibility and freedom. And so it is with you, if you are feeling the need for your own Declaration of Independence, have the courage to stand up for what you need. Who knows what kind of new life and possibilities are out there just waiting for you to claim your right and acknowledge that you deserve a better life? What would of happened if our forefathers hadn’t taken a stand? Where would that of left us?

If you are not in the flow of your happiness, then abundance, freedom, creativity, joy and love cannot be yours. And if you are not in alignment with belief that what you desire for yourself you also desire for others, then these gifts will also evade you.

All beings are created equal and deserve happiness. Claim your right to happiness and let go of trying to control the will others. Give them the space to find what they need and give yourself the room to do the same.

The examples of how to do this are all around you. It’s up to you to claim your own happiness and release others to find this gift for themselves.” Source: Make Today YOUR Independence Day!

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And wisdom to know the difference.” via en.wikipedia.org

This independence day, I declare independence from…

  • Trying to manage the unmanageable…
  • Anger and resentment related to the first item…
  • Substances that stimulate or depress…
  • Anything that’s keeping me from being a more authentic me…

I’ll give myself 30 days and I’ve entered these issues into Habitforge to help keep me on track. July is going to be a hell of a month — you may want to wait until August to talk to me…
