Imagine freedom

Imagine being completely free to reach toward your most treasured dreams. Imagine moving swiftly forward with nothing to hold you back. Think of how powerful it would be to live each moment with confidence, with strength, with real and meaningful purpose. Think of how magnificent it would feel to be free of worry and anxiety.

Consider how great it would be if you didn’t have to be concerned about what other people thought of you. Consider being able to free yourself from the grip of everyone who had ever hurt you or disappointed you.

Imagine being so completely free, and know that it is something you can choose at any time. For the freedom that means the most is the freedom that exists deep within you.

Imagine it passionately enough and it is already there, no matter what others may say or do. True freedom comes from who you know yourself to be, not from any outside circumstances. Set your heart on the best you know, the best you can imagine. And the sweet freedom you imagine is real.

— Ralph Marston
