“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds.”

• Marcus Garvey

Without our permission or realization, mental frameworks have been given to us. 

Go to school, get good grades, go to college, get a good job, work your way up, retire at 65. 

This framework was forced upon us and many of us never take the time to question it. 

We accept it as law and abide by those rules without thinking twice. 

We have the ability to think beyond this framework. We can question what has been given to us to see if it aligns with our vision.

If it doesn’t, we can make a decision to free ourselves from this framework. 

It takes courage. 

It takes fortitude. 

It takes audacity.

But it’s possible.
