Embrace Your Freedom

Written by: Scott Dinsmore

Average Reading Time: 1.5 minutes

“The last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

-Dr. Viktor E Frankl

How often have you stopped to think about how free you are?

In the U.S., today is the day we’ve decided to celebrate our freedom. But with all the BBQ, beer, fireworks and fun, it’s all too easy to forget the importance of such a word.

While today may be a subtle reminder for some of us, we must embrace and cherish our freedom every day. It’s all around us. And it’s so easy to take for granted.

Today and everyday forward, I encourage you to embrace what we have at our fingertips. Make the below a part of your everyday life and allow yourself to live freely.

Enjoy a Slow Dance with Mom Today

Slow Dance by David L. Weatherford

Written by: Scott Dinsmore

In honor of Mother’s Day today, I though I would share a poem that’s been instrumental in my life and those around me. I hope it has the same effect on you. It was first brought to me by Tim Ferriss and I have kept it as a guiding light ever since-framed next to my front door in fact.

Slow down and take the time to appreciate your mother today. Without her where would you be?

Slow Dance

by David L. Weatherford

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,
or listened to rain slapping the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight,
or gazed at the sun fading into the night?

You better slow down, don’t dance so fast,
time is short, the music won’t last.
