Dependence or Independence?
Yesterday, as we celebrated the 4th of July we were honoring our independence.
I have been thinking about that idea and wonder what it really means to be independent. I work with those whom have some kind of illness or handicap and while they are dependent on others, they are still independent. They have cultivated an inner freedom that goes way beyond their physical state. They know that they are much more than their situation and are not victims of their circumstance. They live their lives making the choice to be positive and proactive. It is their attitude that makes all the difference.
From time to time it is helpful to explore how independent we really are. Are we truly living our lives with inner calm and ease?
Think about where in your life you have not yet attained independence. Let me know in the comments below.
