Using Nelson Mandela as an example, recognize that freedom is a state you choose for yourself. Your choice impact others because everything is connected.
Don't mistake connection for imprisonment. It’s easy to do that when you see freedom as a binary choice, as in, you’re either in jail or out.
You are not imprisoned. You are free.

On a recent trip to Ireland, I saw sheep everywhere but not shepherds.
It made me wonder, What’s the role of a shepherd (leader) versus a sheep (follower)?
Later on, we found some lost sheep on a hike, stuck on a ledge.
Of course, we all get stuck at times. At its core, being stuck happens when we can only see a topic from a certain perspective. The sheep did, in fact, have choices.
What happened next? Listen to find out.

When did rest become impermissible? In today’s work-obsessed culture, rest is the bogeyman we don’t talk about.
Rest is necessary so, go ahead, and unplug for a while. Rest rejuvenates and gives you peace. In a peaceful state, you can solve anything. That’s because ideas come from rest, as I’ve talked about before. Click here for the Sowing Idea Seeds episode.
