4 Ways To Claim Your Independence<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019re having an energizing holiday spent with the people who matter most to you. The 4th of July is a day where we come together to celebrate our country and what it means to be American.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For me, the message of prosperity<\/em> and freedom<\/em> rings the most true. We live in a time where opportunity is plentiful and it’s more possible than ever to achieve your dreams. We have the liberty to choose our thoughts and dreams, as well as the freedom to pursue them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

What are you doing to create freedom and independence in your life?<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

In the spirit of 4th of July and the land of opportunity, here are 4 ways to claim your independence:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone.<\/strong> You\u2019ve heard it said, \u201cEverything you want is just outside your comfort zone.\u201d Check out what I learned when I stepped out of my comfort zone in this blog post entitled Three Life Lessons You Can Learn From Skydiving<\/em>.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Join a Mastermind Group. <\/strong>Surrounding yourself with like-minded people will help you harness and maximize your success and guide you to prosperity. Listen to [this episode] of my Talk with Tom podcast on how to form a mastermind<\/a>, and [this episode] to learn the benefits of being a part of one<\/a>. Keep tabs on my website for an upcoming invitation to join a newly-forming mastermind group\u2026including one specific to millennials.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \n
        1. Free Yourself From Your Biggest Roadblocks.<\/strong> All too often, the hardest obstacles to overcome are your own negative thoughts and habits. If there’s something in your life that you KNOW isn’t serving you, don’t try to rationalize it, make excuses for it, or pretend it doesn’t exist. Instead, identify the problem and face it head on to free yourself from its power over you. One tool to overcoming your limiting beliefs is the use of Affirmations. Check out how in this episode of my Talk with Tom Motivational Minute podcast: Release the Brakes Using Affirmations.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          I leave you with this quote from Wendell Willkie:<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          \n

          \u201cI believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n
