"Being creative is enough."

The Choice: Prison or Freedom

June 1, 2014

When it comes down to it, you have only one choice between prison or freedom.

Ask yourself the following question:

What single factor has made it possible or impossible for everything I have done in my life? What is the common denominator?

I asked myself this question and the answer is money.

Money has paid for my food, my shelter, my education, my travel and my career. It has made everything possible.  The lack of money has kept me from doing things that I have wanted to do, kept me from having some of the tings I have wanted to have and I haven’t been able to contribute to things like I would like to. 

Lets face it, like it or not, money controls what we do, where we go and every possibility or impossibility that comes our way. 

Now, are there things that money can’t buy?  Sure. Does money buy you love or happiness?  Well, no….

But I can tell you this, not having money doesn’t buy you love and it for sure does not buy you happiness. 

So, when everyone sits around and calls money names, they should be slapped, because the truth is, money has kept them alive. 

Now, don’t get me wrong. Money is not all powerful. It is actually nothing at all. Money is worthless sitting in a bank, unless it is making you more money. 

You don’t need money to live, but it is right up there with oxygen. 

So money IS important. 

How do you make money? 

You get a job and somebody pays you, right? 

You can invest or gamble and make money, or you can lose it that way as well. 

Or you sell things and make a retail profit or a commission. 

When you have a job, you have a boss, you have to go somewhere at a certain time and perform certain duties laid down by the employer.  This is something like prison or the military isn’t it?  

They tell you when to do what where and decide how much you get paid. 

So, if that appeals to you, do it. 

For me, it almost makes me sick to my stomach to know that I would have to be an employee again. It actually always has. I have always wanted to be free, to travel when and where I want, to buy the things I want and to spend time with the people I choose to spend time with. 

The limitations placed on you by a job are almost excrutiatingly painful to me. 

But most of all, you don’t have any control over your income. They will pay you the absolute minimum that they can pay to keep you in their services. 

I don’t want to live like that. I want to be free. 

That is why I am in the Empower Network, to be free, to show others how to be free and to make the dream of individual determination a reality. 

I want a monument erected in my name which represents something I have done for some high purpose, and to show that I lived for more than just making it day to day in a meager existence. 

If you want that then click on the banner next to this article and enter your email address, because this is the best way to get free on earth. 

The Empower Network, empowers you to be the highest and best self you possible.
