Your Independence Day
Friday, July 4, 2008 at 12:43PM
We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Are you exercising your right to pursue happiness? We all want to be happy and that can mean different things to different people. The one thing that holds true for everyone no matter what your goal is, is this, only you can make it happen. What do you want independence from? Is it financial woes, a bad relationship, poor health?
Circumstances don't change by magic. Your circumstances don't change because you wish they would. Your circumstances don't change because of other people's opinions of how things should be. You are responsible for your circumstances. Do unexpected thing happen? Of course. Are some things out of your control? Sometimes yes.
What the really important part is how you react. What you learn. How you apply those lessons. Today while you're having hamburgs and hotdogs or watching the fireworks with friends and family, think about your independence, think about your pursuit of happiness.
