HAPPY CANADA DAY!

What Real Freedom Is

You’re not likely to walk into someone’s home and call it shit just because it doesn’t meet your standards. More than likely you’ll just get up and leave. So don’t call the country I live in shit, just get up and leave.

Addicts understand that the geographical cure does not work, no matter where you go you’ll always be unhappy about something. The only way to find true happiness is to change your perspective. Only then can you come to appreciate what is right in front of you, which is everything.

Point your finger at the world for all the crap you feel and nothing will change, you’ll still feel like crap. Change your perspective, take accountability for your own life and you may come to understand that there are far greater things awaiting. All you have to do is open your mind to the possibilities and let go of the façade that blinds you. When you do you’ll understand what real freedom is.

Happy Canada Day
