How did this happen?
You wake up one day and it all falls apart - your health, your relationship, your career... Nothing happens all of a sudden. You chose this with all the daily decisions you made leading up to now. What you do now adds up and builds to a result later. Chose…
"Freedom" doesn't mean "free stuff"
In fact it's the opposite. If we accept free stuff, we become dependent - and dependence is the opposite of freedom. Responsibility is the price of precious freedom. Nothing is free.
