The only freedom we have in life is the choices and decisions we make.

We can’t control the weather.

We can’t control what people say to us or about us.

We can’t control what our spouse, friends, family, or even coworkers do or say.

Our only freedom in life is our freedom to CHOOSE how we will respond to things and how we will show up in life.

By taking responsibility, you take control of your personal freedom, shifting from merely reacting to circumstances to actively shaping the outcomes you want.
