Freedom and Responsibility

Happy July 4th! Celebrating our Freedom and Responsibility.
We cannot have freedom without taking full responsibility for our choices.
We cannot live as we wish without accepting the outcome we have chosen.
We cannot fully express without owning the results of our actions.

Yes, we are free to voice our opinion.
We are free to move wherever we desire.
We are free to choose the life we want.
We are free to believe in whatever we choose.
With our choices, desires, opinions and wants come natural consequences.
When we dislike the results, we find a person, institution or the Divine to blame.
We victimize ourselves with our own thinking, only to do it all over again and again.
When we realize that we are experiencing what we have chosen, we do it differently.

The concept that others are at fault…..the past, parents, partners, bosses, or God ……is our problem.
When we believe we are not in charge of our destiny, we are at the effect of others and victim to our own imaginings.

We are not the victims of the world we see.
We are free to choose and change in order to fully be.
We are free to live or die.
Free to laugh or to cry.
Free to sing and dance or suffer in silence.
Free to be weak or strong, 
Free to be pitiful or shout out strong.
When we judge ourselves or others for the experiences we have, we get stuck in doing them again. 
When we fully forgive our errors or theirs, we free ourselves to choose anew.
It is that simply and totally true.
Judging, criticizing, complaining, hating, pitying, all beget our stuckness and continuing what was.
Forgiving, releasing, blessing, observing and erasing all free us to choose again with eagerness.

We are free the instant we forgive and release the past.
We are free when we live in the present moment now.
We are free when we are at peace with all in our awareness.
We are free when we are willing to be responsible to it all.

Responsible means…we are willing and able to respond with Love.
Responsible means…we no longer play victim.
Responsible means…we are willing to do the work for all that comes our way.
Responsible means….we love, trust and respect ourselves every single day.

I am free and I can see.
I am responsible and willing to respond with Love to all that is.
I celebrate our freedom and responsibility as we forgive and choose again.
To this I say “AMEN”

Loving us all as One,
