The Freedom Manifesto

::Something too true to share::
"Cease controlling things that you cannot control.
Treasure what you have, and make the most of it.
If possible, share that with someone that makes a difference in your life. Even better, be the someone that makes a difference. After all, life is short.
Perhaps leaving a print in someone’s soul is the only way to liberate our existence.
That is, the freedom that we always have, but not necessarily what we always remember.
I have always been free, have you not?
You cannot make someone love you, but you can choose to love yourself.
You cannot stop someone from hurting you, but you can walk away.
There are things we can control, some we can’t. Cease controlling the uncontrollable. That’s freedom.
Knowing how to stay strangles what you have. Knowing when to leave, that’s freedom.
Hm.. What is this thing called, freedom?"
(For those who've left prints in my soul, and those whose souls still bear my trace of existence.)
(And thanks Cathy for the inspiring words)

Thanks for sharing. This is gd! :)
This is a gd 1! What a coincidence - last Sat, I read sth similar to this in a bk. I'll always remind myself, esp after those horrible dreams, that I've the freedom to stay/walk away.
True. I read it with such a good timing that I almost felt liberated at that very moment. That's why I'm posting it here.
so good to see you again....remind me to enjoy life everyday!
Thanks.
