You may recall yesterday that I noted that my daily gratitude list always begins with Jesus, Health, Lori, Kids/Grandkids…on most days I note Freedom as the fifth item on my gratitude list.
I will never take freedom for granted.
I have a twofold reason for noting freedom on my gratitude list.
- Because of Christ, I’m free from the bondage of addiction.
and
- Because of an amazing idea created by our forefathers almost 250 years ago, I live in a nation that protects my unalienable rights of life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness.
Happy Independence Day!
Galatians 5:1, “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” (ESV)

AFFIRM YOUR P.E.A.C.E.
Plan – A dream remains a dream until you write it down. Putting your dream or goal in writing is the first step in creating a PLAN to achieve it. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Effort – Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to putting forth consistent and focused EFFORT toward executing your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.
Attitude – The chances of achieving your dream increase exponentially if you believe you will achieve it. Remember that your ATTITUDE determines your altitude in all areas of your life.
Community – Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. The chances of achieving your dream expand as your COMMUNITY of positive mentors and coaches expand. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with–and yes, spending time with “people” through books and instructional videos factors into your “average.”
Energy – Chasing and achieving your dream requires optimal mental, physical, and spiritual ENERGY. So put your dream in God’s hands and nurture your mental and physical being.
