Declaration of My Indepependence

JUST WRITTEN

Just written, my personal declaration of independence.
Independence from oppression (or suppression) of my own mind.
Independence from my own mind’s attempts to meet the innocent expectations of others.
Independence from people telling me I think this way or that way because I am this or that, not realizing that before I was in my mother’s womb (or a graduate of any school) God knew me, shaped me, declared what I was to be.
Independence from self doubt, external criticism and the hateration of others who remain enslaved in their minds not yet having been declared free from themselves.
Independence from the fear of failure realizing that failure only evidences that I have shed my prior lackadaisical attitudes and moved toward the accomplishment of my goals, dreams and aspirations.
A personal declaration of independence stating:
1. I, desiring to form a more perfect union of myself
to my self, declare that I am free from any part of
me that will not bow down to the reality of me.
2. That I, not being created equal, was created to excel in that which I was created to do having been equipped prior to my first breath.
3. That I have been endowed by my Creator with more than an inalienable right, I have a sacred duty, to pursue with passion those purposes planted within me by the creator of all things.
4. That my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness are all wrapped in the vision that was once just a nagging thought but now has become a driving force.  A life to sacrifice in my commitment to my reason for living.  The liberty to chose the right path.  And the pursuit of happiness in knowing that come what may I dedicated myself to something greater than myself.
My own personal declaration of independence, written by me for me.  No congressional vote required, no presidential approval desired. I now realize that Lincoln never freed the slaves for we can only free ourselves.
FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST THANK GOD ALMIGHTY I’M FREE AT LAST.
