The word FREE has many definitions. Some are based off a positive thought process and others off a negative one. FREE is often thought of and defined as, "Costing nothing. Not occupied or used. To disengage." There really is not such a thing as something for nothing! The truth is even gifts cost the giver something. When most people say something is FREE, they mean it didn't cost them anything! This is a selfish and ungrateful way to look at the world! It can be a dangerous way as well. It can lead to an entitlement attitude. ( http://www.speakittolife.blogspot.com/2011/05/entitlement-attitude.html ) People also often think of the word FREE in a patriotic sense. It means we have rights and live in a democracy. But the word FREE should hold a much greater significance. The word FREE is also defined as, "Not bound or constrained. Not under obligation or necessity. Not affected by a given condition or circumstance. To rid of or release." If you have financial FREEDOM and believe in God you will have this type of FREEDOM. When you have enough money to be financially FREE you don't have a job. FREEDOM from a job means you are not under obligation to do what a boss says to do. You don't have a necessity to go to work to earn a living. Financial FREEDOM and faith in God give you the confidence to overcome circumstances! These two FREEDOMS release most of our daily stress and leave us FREE to pursue our dreams!

March's Word of the Month: ABSOLUTE
ABSOLUTE means certain, positive, and not limited by restrictions. This is one of the most powerful words I know. I have said many times that you speak what you want into your life. To be able to speak those things you have to know ABSOLUTELY what it is you want in life.
There is nothing that will make your life easier and bring you more peace than to be ABSOLUTELY positive about what your purpose is for living. When you know what you are trying to achieve you make decisions based on whether they take you closer to or farther from your goal. Suddenly you don't have to stress over decisions!
ABSOLUTE also means not limited by restrictions. I love this word because it gives you freedom! When you are ABSOLUTE, you are determined to achieve something despite ALL obstacles. Being ABSOLUTE means that you refuse to entertain the idea of failure. That gives you a huge sense of freedom. It makes choices and options seem possible that before seemed crazy. When you are ABSOLUTE you are looking for those options and the things you are looking for seem to present themselves. For example, let's says that you just bought a new Subaru Forester. You may not have known anyone with this car. You may not remember seeing any in your town. However, as soon as you buy the car it is in the front of your thought process. Now everywhere you go you keep seeing people with a Subaru Forester. The same is true with goals. If they are in the front of your thought process, ways to achieve them will appear before you!
The key to ABSOLUTENESS is knowing that what you want is so strong of a desire that you would do anything for it. That you would sacrifice now to have this later. You have to know that is an easy sellout appears that you won't take it. ABSOLUTE means concrete or root deep certainty that you will accept no alternative! People are drawn to someone that is in the hunt! Someone with that gleam in their eye that says I'm chasing a dream!
Do you have something in your heart worth fighting for with ABSOLUTENESS?
