Celebrate your freedom

Celebrate your freedom to choose by choosing wisely. Celebrate your freedom to act by acting on your highest values and best intentions.

Celebrate your freedom to speak your mind by speaking the truth, with compassion, understanding and genuine love. Celebrate the freedom to follow your dreams by following those dreams that are worthy of the unique, valuable person you are.

Celebrate and live your freedom, and realize that with freedom comes a serious obligation. Because you are free to choose the direction of your life, you are also responsible for all that happens as a result.

Freedom is a powerful and wonderful thing, and makes the best possibilities possible. Freedom’s power comes from the willingness to accept responsibility, and without that responsibility there is no freedom.

Celebrate your freedom, and give to life all the great things that come from living in freedom. Celebrate your freedom by appreciating how precious it is and by perpetuating it with your responsible choices.

In freedom there are endless promises. Celebrate your freedom by making it your business to fulfill its greatest promises in your own special way.
