I’m in the Bay Area with family, and as I look around, I’m thinking about freedom.
Am I truly free?
Can I control my calendar?
Can I choose who I spend time with?
Am I working on my vision – or someone else’s?
Can I say “yes” or “no” without fear?
These questions hit different when you’re honest about the answers.
Revolutionary Spirit
On July 4, 1776, a few brave people made a decision: They would no longer outsource their future. No more kings. No more permission.
They paid for that decision in blood. But what they earned? A shot at freedom.
Fast forward to today… We watch fireworks. We eat burgers. We post flags.
Freedom feels nice to talk about.
But it’s hell to earn.
The Price
Freedom demands 3 things:
- Courage to step into the unknown.
- Sacrifice – of comfort, convenience, and often, cash.
- Grit to keep going when nothing works.
You don’t need to start a revolution.
But you do need to take responsibility.
Your Choice
No one’s coming to save you.
No one’s handing out independence.
You build it.
One hard choice at a time.
May you live free – on your terms.
