How to honor, celebrate and benefit from the freedom you’ve been granted
In the United States, we enjoy a tremendous amount of freedom. Sometimes it’s easy to take those freedoms for granted and miss some of the real opportunities that they bring us.
Today, I’m going to show you a simple way to honor the freedom you’ve been granted to live a life you love living.
I’ve been studying, teaching and mentoring others in the principles of transformation for more than 45 years now. If there’s one thing I know about dreams, it’s this: At this very moment, you have the freedom to pursue any dream you desire.
Celebrating Military Service This Veterans Day
Today, Veterans Day, is the perfect day to acknowledge and celebrate your freedom. Veterans Day in the United States is a day we set aside to thank and honor all those living and passed on who served in the military, during both times of war and peace. We send our gratitude to them for the freedom to pursue our dreams.
Many people all around the world enjoy different types of freedoms. If you don’t live in the United States, you may not celebrate Veterans Day, however, you can choose to give thanks to those who have provided (and helped serve to provide) the freedoms that you DO have.
For example, in the United States, we have choices, freedoms and liberties to create lives we love for ourselves, and to create lives we love for our families. We have the freedom to start businesses, decide to work for someone else or not work at all. We have the freedom to write books on any topic we want.
We have the freedom to marry anyone we choose, raise our children in the way that we believe, feed our bodies any food we prefer and to dream any dream we wish.
Today, right now, as you’re reading this, I invite you to take a breath and send a kind glance way, way, way, way back when, in 1776, ideas of freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were being established in the U.S.
Think back to those who laid their lives on the line again and again, who made it possible for us to celebrate this day, Veterans Day, when we feel gratitude for all of those who have ever served in the United States for the freedoms we have today.
As we feel gratitude, let me remind you that living from a state of gratitude today and every day is one of the keys to creating a happier, more fulfilling and abundant life.
So here’s a question for you:

I am grateful for the freedom I have to start a new business.

Freedom is most important, for all the peoples in any Countries.Speak,Teaching Reading Leaving,all the liberties,wants peoples. Every Liberties is peace & enjoyable.
I am grateful for the freedom of speech!
I’m grateful to have the freedom be able to open my own businesses, being able to work for myself.Im grateful for my children and family members that they are able to do the same. Freedom of having free will…
I know you said one, but I have three…I am so grateful we are free to read and publish as we please without fear of censorship. My life is so rich and full because I am free to read and listen to books as I please. I don’t know how I could make it through a day without some sort of book for escape or learning or worship. My life would also not be complete without being free to worship as I choose. God is central to my universe and being, so I am eternally grateful for that right. Last but not least, as a woman, I am extremely grateful for the right to vote, to hold property, to have equal credit in my name, and to choose whom I marry and also to be free to work if I choose. In other words, to be an “equal” citizen in our country. I don’t take that right lightly. Women in so many other countries do not have that right. I pray for them constantly.
i will be happy to join you and work with you
im very proud of men.women who are fighting when we are praying for them to return home some will u know they did their way my husband army vet isee it i know god love them god bless USA of American citizens people history follow us Elizabeth Franklin
I like this Veteran Day. Mary…..

When my first daughter was a few months old, I was standing near her crib and watching her sleeping. My father walked to the room, looked at me and said: the way you are looking at her; there is something in your mind, what are you thinking?
– Well, if somebody would tell me that for Masha to get an education in Sorbonne, I need to walk there and back, I am ready to go. My father looked at me again and said, I know you would. The year was 1967.
In 1978 we left the Soviet Union.
The year 1984. A year before graduating from the school, we were invited to an organized evening to meet with representatives from colleges and universities.
The sports arena was busy with hundreds of small tables and people, walking from one table to another, talking, picking up the information about academes for later to decide which one is the best would be for their child.
As the rest of the parents, I was walking, talking, and watching the excitement mixt with the business mood. At some point, I had tears in my eyes. I would never forget this moment of a sudden feeling of understanding that my daughter can go to any University she would choose, and nobody would deny her this right only because she is a jew.
As it was done to me.
I only wished that my father could see this special moment in the life of his family. I know, he would say:
This what you wanted for your daughter, when I asked you years ago, so it’s here now. You did walk your walk for this moment.
And this is the moment that I call Freedom. Freedom to choose the life you
want to live!
Beautiful reminders, Mary. Indeed so very grateful for so many freedoms. I have tremendous gratitude to be able to have a spiritual path of choice. What a gift 🙂

Hallo liebe Mary☺ herzlichen Dank für deine onspirierende Nachricht. Ich bin sehr dankbar für den Frieden in meinem Land, in dem Haus, wo ich wohne und dass ich nach einem schweren Verkehrsunfall wieder freihändig laufen kann. Ich bin froh und dankbar, dass ich einfach zum Gottesdienst gehen kann und aktiv in umserem kleinen Chor in unserer Gemeinde zu Gottes Lob und Ehre mitsingen kann. Ich bin auch besonders dankbar, dass ich Englisch gelernt habe und so auch deine Webinare relativ gut verstehen kann☺
Ich danke Gott, dass er dich hat leben lassen und du eine so herzerfrischende Lehrerin für so viele Menschen rund um den Globus bist. Ich sende ganz herzliche Grüsse an dich, deine Familie und dein Tram?

I’m so grateful to have met you and that, by being in your programs, I get inspired every day by you, Mary Morrissey!
I’m so grateful that I also have the opportunity to get inspired by so many other empowering, amazing, altruistic leaders.
I’m so grateful that I no longer suffer from PTSD and that I’m moving towards a spectacular future.
I’m so grateful to be in a quiet place, where I can focus on serving millions (my goal) while editing my next book, I blew my diet! Now what?
I’m so grateful that there’s an awesome farmer’s market near me — and I can get healthy, nourishing foods every week. That’s where I’m going now!
THANKS, MARY!
YOU DEFINITELY HAVE MY PROFOUND GRATITUDE!
IN HONR TO THOSE WHO SACRIFICE THERE LIFE TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY
AMERICA IS GREAT!
I am grateful for the choice to live freely in any state we have in this amazing country. No borders to cross with paperwork to say where you live. Go where you choose and enjoy the culture, outdoors and any event that state has to offer. There is so much diversity in landscape and ethnicty we are so fortunate to experience.
I am so grateful to live in freedom !
I am so grateful for the people who made it possible !
I am so grateful for You !
I am so grateful for the sun in my face !
I am so grateful meating happy people !
I am grateful to live in the USA, where I have the Freedom to choose the path to achieve my goals. The Freedom to develop myself, to work on what I love, to help others, to enjoy life, and to continue to have bigger and bigger dreams.
I am grateful for those of you, such as your good self, Mary, who remind us of all the blessings we enjoy, living in the free world. May we never forget those who served so nobly and, as stated by Winston Churchill, ‘for your tomorrows, we gave our todays.’
I am most gratefull for the Freedom of Religion that I enjoy here where I live, and I know that it is actually one of the reasons, perhaps the main reason the Mayflower,with the original pilgrims,set sail to the New World, that later became the USA.
I am grateful that my enslaved ancestors in North America persevered despite the hostilities, and torture they endured for me to live.
Recovery

The gratitude I have most is being able to complain about Veterans Day and the true scam it is…… war is a racquet….. pure and simple! We have been at war for 222 years of our 246…….and not very proud of what we did to the nation that originally welcomed us either. We are bombing 7 nations as we read this….. for our freedom?
We’ve been in Afghanistan for over 18 years….. 5th poorest country in the world……we cannot seem to win that war …..yet that country is producing over 90% of the worlds opium
What’s up??????
Hi Mary,
As the son of a veteran and myself a recently retired Army Officer, I believe that my family has been able to fully embrace and practice gratitude over the years.
Some weren’t as easy as others – Christmas was especially hard when I was younger…
If there is one thing that I’ve been able to apply since following you is this: being grateful for the days and people around me.
Some have unfortunately passed away but I’ve tried to remember the times we were able to have together because of the sacrifices of days past.
Thank you for what you do; the world definitely needs more of what you bring!
I love what you are giving me and im so grateful
Dearest Mary,
Thank you for your beautiful reminder of gratitude. I appreciate all you do and offer to all of us.
With great respect.
I am grateful for all I can do with all my heart. While reading the e-mail for a moment, I was in the process of doing a project that turned into a golden candle and a Christian in a blue full of stars (space) advisor. I am happy to get ready with the project photo program, one more card, ready photos. Messaging is the next part that is coming. I love my project wholeheartedly, but I know that everyday life is livable. Thank you
What’s ONE freedom that you particularly are grateful for today?
The freedom to be myself!
Thank you Mary!
Really impressive to read all. We got opportunity to take birth in this beautiful earth physically and mentally perfect and realising the amazing creations of God day by day. This is the ONE freedom that we particularly are grateful today.
Praying with God to provide the extraordinary chance to serve the people who are really facing the difficulties of human life.
I am eternally grateful for the freedom of choice in all areas of our lives, in what we belive, who we love, what we do and. where we live and travel. Thank you to all who make this possible.
I was born in Jamaica, emigrated to Canada to become a citizen, and now I live and work in the US. I an grateful for the opportunities I have to experience and enjoy multiple countries, cultures and people.
I am grateful and thankful that veterans leave their near and dear ones, sacrifice their life for entire continent.
I am thankful and truly grateful for their daring energy, love, dedication, devotion and committments for others.
I am grateful freedom that Veterans provide for us. I am grateful to have a place to live, food, that there are agencies like the Food Pantry that help people to have good for the month. When there is a fire or accident people come together and help one another. There are a lot of people in this world who are very caring and helpful.
My health and strength.also the veterans that died and alive familes. I have brother and sister that got shell shocked in the late seventies but moving forward it should not be anything that they should not do for the veterans my sister from California it’s been 36 years she has not gotten her reimbursement from the service let God be the glory for all he has done.
Hi Mary.

I’m grateful for the freedom of individuality.
