Does Freedom take Money?

In order to have freedom, does it actually take money? Well, yes it does….Without money you can’t do anything…..clothes, food, bills, vacations….ahh sandy white beaches, warm sun on your face, oh sorry got side tracked there.
It is a cold hard truth that everything takes money…..Love doesn’t, some say, happiness doesn’t, but ya can’t eat love or happiness or put it in your car to make it go! Is it possible to enjoy life without a lot of money? Sure, but you have to live -WITHOUT– and doing without is well, not reaching for ALL that this life has to offer-it’s a double edged sword and we should be always looking for ways to make our money work for us, not us work for the money!
Our fore fathers were brilliant, they actually believed in their pursuit of happiness and they also believed that every person should have the choice whether they want to move to another place or whether they wanted to open their own business.
It is the individual’s choice whether they do this or that. Yes, as Americans we enjoy being able to make any choice we desire. BUT, oh yeah there is a BIG BUTT (pun intended) Freedom has a PRICE!
This is where most will fail, why? Because they are NOT willing to pay the PRICE! It costs us real people’s lives to be free as a country—Peoples Dads, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, cousins, etc. etc……It costs us to be free.
So in order for you to be free you must Pay the Price.
What do YOU want?
Why?
99% of the time it does take money or monetary equivalent to get what you want, so it should be your job to figure out 3 things.
- The skill you need to develop in order to make money.
- Time to develop that skill.
- Persistence, (gotta get off the couch) and another word FAITH.
Anyone telling you they are okay with working for someone else is NOT facing reality. They just don’t want to pay the price, or don’t realize they can! All our lives we were taught to stick our nose into our work and never look up, we were meant for whatever life handed us and nothing more. NOT true!
Learning skills is not easy; just ask Michael Jordan or Ronald Regan, Tiger Woods, or Patrick Roy, or David Wood…It takes practice, it takes hard work, it takes sticking to it until you finally get it…then start learning more. When we work hard it pays off. But when we study, study, and then study some more, but don’t put what we learned into action, it doesn’t do us any good! You have to not only learn a skill, but practice it, then it will become second nature!
Some say they were God Gifted, but I tell you we are ALL God Gifted…….Go learn

and become free! Open up and let the freedom ring in your heart! Start dreaming again, start living!
