You are not chained in a dungeon. In the name of God, turn the handle, walk out, and be free. Build a mental equivalent of freedom, of vibrant physical health, of true prosperity, of increasing understanding and achievement for God. Author Alan Cohen tells the story of a goldfish owner who hit on the bright idea of putting her piscatory pets in the bathtub while she cleaned their bowl. The whole wide world of the bathtub was available to them, but they were limited by their fishbowl-size thinking.
Freedom is a beautiful word.
Just saying it starts me thinking about what it means to be free of whatever binds me, limits me, or holds me back. If I am sitting in a prison cell, freedom means being able to come and go as I please, no longer limited by walls or even chains. But there are other bindings, other limits. Physical or mental illness can limit me. Poverty can limit me.
