Freedom

Affirmations:
I free you and me to be who we are.
I am free to live the highest and best way for myself.
I trust freedom makes us mindful and grateful for the Good we enjoy.
I live with Love, trust and freedom that each one will find their own way.

You Are Free!

Do you let others limit you?
Do you allow your past to define you?
Are you willing to think for yourself?
Do you make your own choices?

When we give our mind to others, we are no longer free.
When we let our identity be defined by our affiliation, are we really free?
When we don’t think for ourselves, we give up our freedom.
When we betray our own truths, we are not free.

Have you given away your ideals?
Do you believe in what is true for you?
Are you aware of your beliefs?
Do you stay true to your values?

We have the responsibility and privilege to choose for ourselves.
When we go along to get along with others, we forsake our freedom.
We do not have to fight or argue to be free.
We need merely give ourselves and others the right to choose our own path.

If you don't know what you believe in, you may be convinced by others.
If you are easily distracted or seduced, you may join others without thinking.
When you have not exercised your right to be free, you may be easily conflicted.
Consider choosing again for your own freedom.

We are the land of the brave and the home of the brave.
This is our country founded on principles of freedom for all.
Do no harm and encourage others to exercise their own freedoms.
Stop trying to convince others that you are right.

We can make this a theme to create more independence and leadership.
Encourage our children to have opinions and make their own choices.
Offer space for everyone,? young and old, to think for themselves.
Allow what is right for one may not be right for all.

Open the way for people to live their own truths and find their own way.
Offer time to explore and express? without judgment and criticism.
Be willing to say and do what is right and good for you without shame.
Allow your home and workplace? and community to foster individuality.

Love at its core is freedom and trust..
Trusting in the right of each to freely explore their own preferences.
Without restriction all of us will seek our own peace and happiness.
We can all learn to live in harmony when we offer freedom for all.

Loving the freedoms of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
Betty Lue


¤      I love you      ¤
and I know you love me too.

LOVE IS FREEDOM
The freedom for you and I to be who we are.
The freedom to live life as we do.
The freedom to make mistakes and learn from them.
The freedom to express our own truth as we see it.

LOVE IS TRUST
The trust that there is a constant flow of love,
no matter what.
The trust that, in spite of life’s problems,
we believe in and support each other’s right
to live as we choose.
The trust that in adversity,
there is healing and learning and gifts of love.
The trust that under conflict and emotional expression,
there is love

I love you and I trust you.
I free you to be all you are.
