What If You Are Free Already,

But Dont Know It?

Imagine You and every other Person is a Sovereign Nation

Like the Country you now live in

YOU are a SOVEREIGN NATION, i.e., SELF-RULED

Only YOU decide what you WILL DO IMAGINE

Now, JUST DO IT (as the Nike ad says)

Why Not?

Ahhhhhhh.

How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World

by Harry Browne

An Introduction to the Book

Freedom is the opportunity to live your life as you

want to live it. And that is possible, even if others

remain as they are. The freedom you seek is already

available to you, but it has gone unnoticed. There are

two basic reasons why most people remain enslaved:

1. Theyre unaware of the many options and

alternatives available to them;

2. They accept without challenge certain assumptions

that restrict their freedom.

Many adults lack freedom not so much because someone has

stolen it from them as because they have thrown it away.

Thomas Szasz

ChooseYOU!

You are only as free as you take the responsibility

to be while allowing others to do the same.JackYou havent met yourself yet. But the advantage

to meeting others in the meantime is that one of

them may present you to yourself. Examine the

nature of everything you observe.Waking Life, the Movie

Choice Theory, William Glasser

The only person whose behavior we can controlis our own. All we can give another person is

information. All long lasting psychological

problems are relationship problems.
