Happy 15 of August ! Or HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY !!
We only says Happy 15th August one day in a year, but because of some very brave and heroic people, we can say Happy Independence Day every day.
The definite of Independence is "not the subject to control by others, self governing". We celebrated our INDEPENDENCE yesterday, but we are blessed to be independent everyday. What does that mean to you?
To me, its means that I can Live my life the way I choose to. I've the power of making choices all day long. I can choose to make positive decisions or I can choose to make life a little harder for myself.
When we think about this particular day, we remember that we learned in history. We know the significance of the this day or as one day holiday but I thinks We should recognize the importance of our freedom. We have the freedom to make our lives what we want them to be.
Freedom means something different for everyone. As a woman, we are free to either fend for ourselves or support each other. There are limitations when we keep ourselves independent of others. On the other hand, there is such a special sense of freedom when we allow ourselves to help and support one another. We break down walls and can truly enjoy the trails and tribulations of being a woman.
It is okey to make mistakes and need help. As long as you can have a sense of humor about it, it can be very liberating.
Here are a few quotes from some very influential women:
“The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.” ― Coco Chanel
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an
independent will.” ― Charlotte Bronte
“You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you
down.” ― Toni Morrison
“Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that
freed self was another.” ― Toni Morrison
“When I was little and running on the race track at school, I
always stopped and waited for all the other kids so we could run together even
though I knew (and everybody else knew) that I could run much faster than all
of them! I pretended to read slowly so I could "wait" for everyone
else who couldn't read as fast as I could! When my friends were short I
pretended that I was short too and if my friend was sad I pretended to be
unhappy. I could go on and on about all the ways I have limited myself, my
whole life, by "waiting" for people. And the only thing that I've
ever received in return is people thinking that they are faster than me, people
thinking that they can make me feel bad about myself just because I let them
and people thinking that I have to do whatever they say I should do. My mother
used to teach me "Cinderella is a perfect example to be" but I have
learned that Cinderella can go f*** herself, I'm not waiting for anybody,
anymore! I'm going to run as fast as I can, fly as high as I can, I am going to
soar and if you want you can come with me! But I'm not waiting for you
anymore.”
― C. Joybell C.
“What people have the capacity to choose, they have the ability
to change.”
― Madeleine Albright
