Today is a celebration of our freedom. But I have to think, are we really free?

I was speaking to my mom a while back and she shared with me that she worries about me ALL the time. With everything that I have gone through these last few years, she is concerned everyday.

A few years ago, I would have tried to calm my mom down and make her feel like she didnt need to worry.

But I found that I really didnt feel the need for her worry and prayers any more. Life is still trying to knock me down, but I explained to her that I am really happy. I mean REALLY HAPPY! and I dont feel like Im requiring quite the level of concern that, despite my comments to my mom, even I felt were deserved.

So in honor of Independence Day and our freedom that entrepreneurs strive and thrive for, I want to share that I feel like Im about there!

I mean, isnt happiness the first huge leap toward freedom and success? For me happiness IS the level of success I have achieved.

And I am going to just relish in it for a while.

What is freedom to you?
